My Deepest Deepest Sympathy to the entire Larkins family 💔 Loved Dad Larkins beautiful smile! I love you all
Dad I’m missing you very deeply. The large smile you always had on your face when I walk in your room was very amazing and priceless it melted my heart. You wasn’t a talker just laid back in your room quietly. Knowing me I wanted to communicate with you, So I kept talking, so you finally started talking to me. You shared a lots of story about your life and I shared stories about minds. Dad I want you to know you will be missed deeply. I want you to know that I will be there watching over mom. So don’t worry about her. Sleep well my King 🤴 Rest in Heaven.We will all see you one day. Love you🥰🥰
Mr. Larkins as a grade school child with you being the custodian at the school you were a role model. When us kids needed corrected you had a pleasant way of letting us know. After many years and a small grade school reunion we were able to meet up again and meeting Mrs. Larkins and your dear family. From that day forward we became friends, talking on the phone at least a once a month. Our conversations were never long only lasting a couple minutes but it was always nice hearing your joyful voice. My husband and I even had the pleasure of visiting with you and Mrs. Larkins a couple times. I will miss those couple minutes on the phone and I’m proud to have known you and will forever cherish our friendship.
May you forever rest in peace my friend.
He lived virtuously through the hardest of times.
Blessings.
Daddy, you were the strongest man I have ever known. From your humble beginning to your long challenging illness you were a gentle warrior. You supported our family, always working 2 to 3 jobs, and by attending our events. Whether they were piano recitals,church activities, or school. Your quiet nature was the clue that kept the home in a place of calm and peace. I love you. God bless you now and forever. Daughter, Kathy.
