Thinking About Oour Little Brother Today
It was about 9:00 AM I think that we all got a group text from Cheryl telling us that Larke had died. Right out of the blue.
He’d been sick and complaining about not being able to get a breath but with his COPD I just figured it was acting up.
I’ve never met another human like Larke. He hunted harder and fished harder and did just about everything to the max more than anybody I know. If you’ve been to his house you’ve seen his obsessions. Buildings full of stuff he’d collected.
And in all that, he valued his friends more than anybody. I’m bad about not liking to talk on the phone much. He’d leave me voice mails all the time, ‘Hey Posty, just checkin’ in no need to call back, just one my way down to Nosenuckle, NC”
I sure do miss him as I’m sure we all do. They broke the mold when they made that ‘un!
And yep, it’s been a whole year.

I can’t even come close to describing how much I miss that munchkin. In fact, I’m camped right now on a lake that Tony and I took Larke gator hunting on a couple of times. He ALWAYS stayed in touch and we’d usually talk at least a few times a week. He’d been complaining for weeks about his total lack of energy (NOT common for him) and it just highlights the fact that anyone here who feels anything just isn’t quite right, no matter how minor it may seem, don’t put off looking into it. The day he passed away, he had a doctor’s appointment to get checked out. He never made it.
We spent some fun nights on this lake chasing gators. Most were bigger than him, but that ain’t sayin’ much! [emoji6] (sorry for the humor, nothing disrespectful and he’d have it no other way.
