Dear Brown family,
I remember Larry as an extremely conscientious caring man. He hired me at McDowell Tech more than 27 years ago. My job at Tech, along with the people there, became my family. Not having been born and bred in McDowell County, the people willing shared their lives with me and my family all these years. He took a chance on a "transplant" and I am forever grateful. His guidance and gentle coaching was appreciated during the time he was my supervisor. I have thought of him fondly throughout the years, especially when Julie came to work at Tech most recently. It was so special to meet his daughter and see that the same conscientious, caring personality was evident. My heart goes out to all of you and as you mourn the loss of your husband and father. Please know that he was a man of true integrity that impacted my life.
Blessings and prayers.
Joy Griffith

Pat, Julie, and Kent's Family,
So sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was a wonderful, compassionate man. He hired me at McDowell Tech, and immediately retired. I admired him as an administrator and a friend. He will be greatly missed in McDowell County. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Dell and I remember all of the good times at the cabin!

Pat, Julie and Kent,
I was so sad to hear about Larry's death. He was a caring, compassionate man and I am sure he is feasting with all the saints today. May our Creator give you comfort and peace as you adjust to his death, even as you rejoice in his eternal life.
