Larry was my Sgt in Lancaster for many years. He was a great friend who enjoyed a good cup of coffee as much as me. A few months back he called and needed some electrical wiring straightened out in a storage shed. It was a quick fix, so we went inside and drank coffee for a few hours, talking and catching up. We talked about God's word and how much he loved the Lord. So many memories, a lot of laughs. Sure going to miss you LT. You were old school, the real deal and a great mentor. To Paul, Michelle and Sharon, you and the family are in My prayers. God Bless...Retired Trooper Mike Haynes

Dear Harrison Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I always enjoyed working with him. One time he and I were on a special detail at a motorcycle rally. We decided to go get us something to eat back in Chester. As we started toward Chester, we were in Larry's car, another trooper got into a chase with a motorcycle coming toward us. I spotted the motorcycle on a long straightaway, Larry pulled over and the motorcyclist spotted us and turned around to go back toward Chester. When he turned into a driveway we went in behind him. He went behind a house so I jumped out of the car and tried to hem it up behind the house. He went right by me. I came back from behind the house to see Larry driving off without me!
When I came back to the front of the house an elderly couple was sitting on the front porch. The gentlemen said "Son I believe they have left you". He asked me if I would like a glass of tea. In a bout 5 minutes Larry came back to get me. He told me we were going to have to do a statement. I said no problem, my statement is " I was sitting on the front porch with some neighbors having a glass of tea". We laughed about that the rest of our careers!
RIP my friend!

My parents had four boys – Jerry, Larry, Don and Johnny. I’ve swapped many a humorous tale with Larry – some were made up, but most were true. Larry had many a story rooted in his days in the Navy and Highway Patrol. One would tell a tale and we’d both laugh and each would try to top the other’s story. I don’t think I ever came in contact with Larry when we didn’t get a good laugh from a story or two.

The four of us brothers grew up together – playing neighborhood baseball, riding bicycles, damming up a nearby creek, swinging on vines in the woods, building make shift “tents” from limbs and straw, having fun with our dog “Spot”, and doing whatever entered our minds at the moment. That innocence of youth carried into our teenage years and beyond – Larry, like the rest of us, was guilty of playing a harmless prank from time to time, but there wasn’t a malicious bone in his body. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. The lives of those of us fortunate enough to have known him are richer by far.

For Larry and Don: Watch for us……Johnny and I will join you in Heaven when our times come.
