Larry was a dedicated provider for his family. He worked hard to ensure those he cared about were taken care of. After serving 23 years of distinguished service, with the United States Navy, Larry continued working as an engineering consultant; he was highly sought after for his knowledge as a mechanical engineer. Larry\u2019s work took him on travels around the world. He took comfort, in his final days, being with his kids; quoting Psalm 23 and leaning into the Lord to take him to his eternal home. Larry will be greatly missed by his family and his friends.<\/p>\n
Larry was preceded in death by his father and mother, Terrell \u201cTuck\u201d and Mahota Williams, and a sister, Sonya Williams.
