“Larry”

© Jaimey Perham - 05/03/2014

“Larry” had a prodigious sense of humor about himself. You always knew when he had arrived on the scene. He didn’t need to open his mouth and speak. His presence alone was enough to know where he stood on any given issue.

What amazed me about “Larry” wasn’t his stubbornness, but his persistence. Once he wanted something, nothing, I mean nothing would block his passage.

“Larry” would always yell at me for my inactivity. I will never really know what obstacles he had to face, day after day?

“Larry” will be missed by all those who knew him. He was “one of a kind,” and there will never be another like him again.

God Speed, city neighbor. God Speed “Larry.”
