Leave a tribute for Larry Robert Moore.
I’m so wto hear about Larry’s passing. I worked with Larry a few years and he was a great person he will be missed by a lot of people. Rest in peace old friend!9
I went to school with Larry from first grade through high school graduation. If I am not mistaken, our mother’s were pregnant and working together at the same time. Larry was always nice and jovial, fun to be around. I wish I had known about his passing, because I would have been at his memorial. I only found out today. I will keep the family in thoughts and prayers.
A dear friend and good buddy.
Amy, so sorry. Remembering you and Larry as neighbors and friends, us as coworkers. Bless you and Anna.
So many childhood memories with you, Larry! Back in the day being in yours, and Amy’s wedding was so exciting for me. It was a real honor.. I remember helping you and Robert Carry vegetables up the hill to the house from the garden. We played Cowboys and Indians and made some mud pies. It was such a fun time. My thoughts are with Amy and Anna and Nancy and the rest of the family, we all loved you. Rest in peace. Cousin. We will see you again soon.
Larry was a truly special person—kind-hearted, honest, and always ready to lend a helping hand. He had a gift in the kitchen and was an excellent cook who found joy in sharing his meals with others. He had a way of making us laugh, even on hard days, and he never held back how he felt—he told the truth, straight from the heart. Larry leaves behind so many wonderful memories, and though he is deeply missed, his spirit lives on in the love he gave so freely. To his beloved wife Amy and their daughter Anna—your strength and love will carry on his legacy.
I'm so sorry for you're loss. I have had a lot of good memories with Larry and the guidance her gave me when I was still in highschool. Larry was like a father figure for me for a long time. He will be missed. He was loved. I will be praying for y'all.
