Goodbye to a Faithful Servant |
|
(Larry Burrows passed away on Sunday, November 29 at the age of 71)
Born in Charleston, WV, Larry was trained as a machinist and cross-trained as an engineering technician and had several patents. When he retired, he spent his time serving his church and his community. Larry kept detailed records of Shalom's progress and was said to have his work truck so well equipped and organized that he had just about anything you needed and could tell you exactly where to find it. Larry’s kindness, energy, dedication, leadership and always ready smile will be missed so much by all who had the blessing to know him and share their lives with him. We can certainly imagine the Lord saying to Larry upon welcoming him home: “Well done good and faithful servant". |
