Dear Friends,
This is indeed sad news and Larry will be greatly missed by his Federation
family. Although he has not been able to be very active over the past few
years, he contributed greatly to our state affiliate and the Springfield
Chapter for a very long time. One of Larry's most recent goals, was to be
able to participate in our 2017 Missouri State Convention. That he did, and
it seemed to mean so much to him. How precious are the times we shared as we
reminisced both the work and fun surrounding that work as colleagues in the
Federation. I'm sure more will be written about Larry but for now, Larry we
love you!.  
My condolences to all of our Federation family, especially those in
Springfield; Larry's family, and the Springfield community.

Shelia

Good morning Federation Family,

It is with sadness and thankfulness that I write you this morning to let you
know that Larry Arnold past away this morning at 6:50.  It's sad because we
have lost a kind, giving strong friend, there is thankfulness because he is
know longer suffering, in pain or missing Robin or his eldest son Larry
Gene.

Larry served in Viet Nam and went blind several years later from issues not
connected with Viet Nam.  He thought his life was over because he was blind.
Until he met Billie Weaver one day on a bus and she helped him see that his
life was just beginning.

Larry worked tirelessly with the Federation, RSB, his church and numerous
other projects to help people.  He gave tirelessly of his time and resources
he even opened his home to several people who needed help.  Even when Larry
was disappointed and taken advantage of he still kept giving.

His family, friends, church, the Federation, Springfield and everyone who
was ever touched by Larry Arnold will miss him greatly.

At this time there are no arrangements that I am aware of.  As soon as I
hear of any I will pass them along.  I do know that a memorial service will
be held in his honor by several of his closest friends here in Springfield.

Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and support through this lon time.
I know he appreciated it, and he loved every one of you.

Sincerely,
Erin Joy Magoon
