I just heard this news today! Larry Wayne was my cousin and we grew up together even living in the same house for awhile. As a child I use to put on plays or shows for our parents and always got Larry to be a part of it. He was an only child but so loved the big family he shared with Mary. Those were the happiest years of his life. I am terribly saddened by this news. Gone too soon my dear sweet cousin!
