To the family members of Larry Wilson (Blandford Community). My sincere heartfelt condolences and prayers are with you. Larry and I (Melvin Jones aka "Catfish from Blandford), go way back in the days of Blandford Neighborhood growing up. We were the best of friends, Larry, Zachary Jones and myself (Melvin). Larry Wilson was a jokester, and a great friend to everyone who knew him. Always had a smile on his face, and you would know that he would have something brewing behind that smile! Larry was a friend to many in the Blandford Neighborhood and abroad. We had some great times together! Take your rest now my Brother. Give Zack, Calvin Turner, Boo-Tee and others some dap when you see them in heaven! You will surely be missed. I pray that God will give your family His peace which surpasses all understanding. In the Amazing Matchless Name of Jesus. Rest In Peace, Larry!
