Brother Larry, rest in peace. You’re always a most pleasant memory I have about, Wheeling, West Virginia. You were so talented in sports. You could perform them all well, if not and great, also. We had some fun and beautiful times playing sports at Lincoln Homes (The ‘Jects). You were always a gentleman in everything. Wow! You were hilarious. We shared many tears of joy. You always gave me warm greetings on my visits back to Wheeling, WV. I’ll miss, Larry. You touched people gregariously, with sincere love. I consider you a special part of my life. May GOD Bless you with His Most Beautiful Blessings. You served humanity with grace, empathy and excellence, my friend. May your family and all your friend’s (myself included), keep you in our prayers. And may your beauty and examples help to uphold us all, until GOD WILLING, we meet again. Sincerely, Charles Darryl Harris
