Larry Becker - He was everywhere

On Tuesday I heard some terribly glorious news. Larry Becker had passed away late Monday Evening. He was found on the street by the Fort Lauderdale Police department. Immediately we tried to find anyone who was related to Larry to see if we could assist for his memorial service. Quickly we realized that Larry was alone. He had no family. He only had us, his church family. At that moment it became abundantly clear that we needed to set the agenda for the memorial service. Once the staff started to think through the service we realized that Larry was everywhere. He was in EE two nights a week. He was in a bible study at a Pizza place. He went to brother brigade. Wednesday night dinner was a scheduled activity. He visited GracePoint church and had many friends there. Larry was involved in the church community. For anyone who knew him they would describe him as kind, loving and consistent. He was everywhere. Now he is gone which is terrible for us, but now he is in Glory which is great for him. For to me to live is Christ and to Die is gain. It was a pleasure to have Larry in my family we will surely miss him. He is not everywhere anymore, but he is truly in the right place.
