Jake- Your mom and dad were clients of my father’s and mine for many years. I was sorry to learn of the passing of your dad this morning in the paper. I always enjoyed our times when we met as he enjoyed investing and talking about the markets. But what he really loved was talking about you Jake, he was very proud of you and I know loved you deeply. May God draw close to you as you grieve the loss of your dad. I don’t have your address or would have sent you a private note. Grace and peace to you and Allison and Lucas. -Bruce Van Bebber

Larry was always a supportive person to those around him. He very quietly listened and then gave his opinion. Jake, so sorry for your loss. Marilyn Landreth
