To remember the man that Larry Small was, you must remember the hope and positivity he had in any situation. We lost a husband, a father, and a brother, an uncle, and a friend on April 3rd of this year, but we will never lose the hope he instilled in all of us.

Larry never gave up in any situation, and no matter what, he would look out for his family and those closest to him when they needed him. He tried to see the light in any situation even when others couldn’t.
