His McAllen Village, Tony (Marisa), Brooks (Bel) and Alvaro (Cynthia). Mr. Elwin Herman and Guadalupe “Lupe”, Joseph “Joe” Guerra, and the rest of the South Texas Vending family.

Larry was more than a friend; he was a brother and compadre in spirit, a cherished part of our lives. His kindness, warmth, and genuine spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.  His ever-present mustache gently hid his sneaky smiles and grins, adding a touch of mischief to our cherished memories. Today, we remember the good times, the shared laughter, and the countless memories that have now become treasures of our hearts.
