I’ve tried all day to figure out exactly what to say.... so many words come to my mind yet I’m still speechless at this time. It’s been almost 20 years of knowing you, yes 20, and I couldn’t be more humbled to have been apart of your life. Starting out on my first endeavor on the Munopco stage in “Joseph” not knowing much about community theatre at all, you helped and guided through it all. Little teenager at the time, who never wanted to smile until showtime, you continued to push me and help me shine. Not only only stage, but offstage in life, you’ve taught me life lessons and you were a dear friend of mine. Through many shows, too many to count, I believe it was 35 all together, from the start. Fast forward to 11 years ago, when we became “family”. I could now call you my brother-in-law, and that was something so very special. The time we’ve had together over these years and al the memories that we have created together is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. You were such an amazing mentor, director, friend, supporter, brother-in-law and so much more. You definitely left your handprint on many hearts throughout your lifetime and touched so many lives. You will never be forgotten, come on who can forget Larry Williams, you were one of a kind. Your legacy will live on through all of those who had the pleasure of knowing you or have been able to work with you on and off the stage. My heart is heavy, the tears will continue but the memories will live on forever. May you protect, guide and watch over all of us always and kick us in the **** when we need that extra push.
The theatre lights will not shine as much anymore, but your talent and love you have shown us will shine brighter then before. I love you Larry and will miss you so much... until we meet again, thank you for all the lives you have touched.
Only some will get this but this ones for you Larry... Beep Beep! Rest easy Mr. Williams.
