I have so many memories of Larry Dale that I don't know where to pull one from. He was very much loved by all and I am sending my love and prayers to the family. Favorite memory is of a small turtle that Larry Dale brought to my son, Patrick. The turtle's name became Larry Dale John Floyd!

You will be missed big guy and i hope that they have some of your favorite tea in heaven. Thanks for being there for me when i needed someone to talk to and making my day better even when it was a rough one.

My prayers are with Larry's family at this difficult time. I can still see Larry's beautiful smile. I have so many great memories of Larry. I remember sitting next to him in prek at 1st Baptist Church in Sour Lake and we would always be holding hands. I remember him teaching me to drive his 3 wheeler and I popped a wheelie and he almost fell off, we laughed so hard. Larry you will be missed my friend and you will be remembered.

Larry I miss you on the radio giving your live broadcast. I miss you walking into my office rapping and dancing with such happiness. You just had that energy. I wanted to know what was in that tea you drank that gave you that energy and that big heart. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. But our God decided he needed more like you in heaven.

As far back as I can remember Larry has been a close friend of mine. Our parents were the best of friends so naturaly we grew up together. Larry could always make me laugh, usually at the worst times, like when were in church. If there was any trouble to get into me and Larry would find it and jump right in. He had a unique way of looking at life. While the rest of us were growing up and settling down, Larry wasn't finished having fun yet. No matter what trouble he got into, he had a way of turning it into a fun experience. Goodbye my friend, I will see you on the other side. Try not to talk God's ear off.

When my son, Patrick, was about 3 or 4 years old, Larry Dale found a small turtle while mowing his parent's yard. He put the turtle in a plastic glass and set it on my front porch for Patrick to find. This turtle's name was Larry Dale John Floyd....I will forever remember this. I have many fond memories of Larry, but his one took my heart forever. My heart and prayers are with all the family right now. Love you all!
