He was the third born of seven children to Charles Larry and Geneva Mullins. Early on, Larry developed a lifelong passion for cinema. Particularly the golden era of the 40's through the 60's. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of the art of film making, Producing and Directing. Larry had a big heart and always pulled for the underdog. Last year he battled back from a life threatening illness that left him weakened but wiser. His recovery from that was an inspiration to his entire family. Then, when confronted with a diagnosis of Cancer a few short weeks ago, it became clear that the odds were stacked against him. He took the news bravely,and chose to forego the exhaustive chemotherapy. Saying, "I've had a long good life I am at peace and I want to go out with a smile on my face ," and he did. After each visit with him, Larry would send us off with a smile and two thumbs up. That is how we will remember him.
