Comments: Mary Ann & David and Betty - - Thank you for helping up sort thru the confusion and giving us the correct info. Our hearts go out to all of his family, and Betty please give Larry Jr our sincerest sympathy in the loss of his Dad! Larry was a great guy & he will be missed by everyone.
Comments: Betty, thank you for setting all straight. Larry, Jr always looked just like his dad. I remember when you would get on to him during choir the you would call him Larry Paul. My prayers are with you all.
Comments: I visited tonight to see if Larry Reid's friends received the information about his death. So much confusion for all of us after reading the obit. Larry and I were married shortly after high school. He was indeed a Sr., and our son is Larry Reid, Jr. We're not even sure why my son was left off the survivor list, but apparently these mistakes are common. Larry Jr. looks exactly like his father, and is also in law enforcement here in East Texas. We will be attending the memorial service on Saturday at the Oaks Fellowship Church in Red Oak. I think they did give the correct information on the service. It was good to read your comments about Larry. My son is grieving in his usual quiet manner. Please keep him in your prayers. With love, Betty
Comments: Thank you so much for your comments. Larry Paul Reid Jr, is Larry's son. Our heart and prayers are with all of Big Larry's family. We will always remember his wonderful sense of humor. Larry is my nephew.
Comments: Well, even stranger is that Larry had a son, and I thought he was a Jr. Betty and Larry had one son. After their divorce Betty and her son went to church where I was going. Why wouldn't a son be mentioned?
Comments: Dear Amy, How wonderful to hear from you! Us "girls" think of you often and hope you & your sweet family are doing OK. It's been a rough time for our class of '66 as we have lost some very dear friends lately. Thank you for the kind words about Debbie as she was a truly kind & sweet person. I'll give you a call.
Comments: Dear Ones,  I am so sorry to hear about your classmates. Please accept our sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies. Debbie sent cards and flowers to Mom and was so sweet to call and check on her from time to time. I think of "the girls" often and miss you all, please drop us a line or come see us anytime! With Love, Amy Bailey Daughter of Christie Blevins Torbett
Comments: I'm shocked and saddened to learn of Larry's death. I have seen sons named after their grandfathers called junior before, perhaps that is the case. I assume he must have had diabetes since that is where the family suggested donations be made. He was a really sweet guy, with a sly sense of humor.
Comments: I understood that if you had the exact name as someone besides your father you would be a II (second). Just as an exact name of a junior would be III (the third or trey). Probably a typo.
Comments: SNL-That is what I was thinking - maybe he was named after an Uncle or someone like that. You never know. It is a shock.
Comments: Perhaps Larry wasn't named after his Dad... maybe he was named the exact same name of his uncle or grandfather?? Or it is yet another mistake from our wonderful DMN obit section! We all know Debbie was NOT born in 1914 either! Wasn't it George Forman who named all 5 or 6 his sons the same name... George!!  Now that is weird!
Comments: I saw Larry's obit this morning too....I was wondering the exact same thing about the "Jr." thing. A long time ago, in not so modern days, people would often name their sons the same name - the first one would be "Sr.", the next one "Jr."....does anyone know if Larry lost a brother who might have been Larry Sr?  Sandy Joe.....that's cute!!  
Comments: Not good reading again this morning. I didn't know Larry well but I understand he was always a pretty good guy. He lived across the street from Eddie & Barbara Arnold early in their marriages. (how do you get a "Jr." if there's no senior?...Jack, I guess the anwser is, in America you can do whatever the !@#!@ you want to...ain't it great).
Comments: I too am shocked...McGee called me from his weekly golf game to share the news. And Jack...I don't know how anyone can be a Jr. without the exact same name...except there could be a mistake on the obit...it does happen.
Comments: Sad to hear about Larry. After reading the obit I'm confused. I know that doesn't surprise most of you. How can Larry be a Jr. if his dad's name wasn't Larry Paul?? |
