I’ve known Kim (Owen) Morris since she was a young 18 years old and have been privileged to work with her every workday for 30 years. Thinking of Kim, Eddie, Zoey, Rylie and the whole family today. Larry, you raised some great people in your kids.
A good neighbor and my condolences to his family. I have such good memories of his children and prayers to all.
