  23. Raymond Chisom
    Mrs Sherry and family, Larry was a great friend and a great fireman. Always helping in what ever task he was assigned.
    But he left the Monticello Fire Department to join a larger Fire Department and that was God's Fire Department to lead souls to Heaven. He continued to serve the Monticello Fire Dept. as our Chaplain for several years. He will be truly missed by all that had the privilege to know and work with him. God Bless each of you.

    I am so very sorry for this great loss to your family. Larry was one of the kindest men I have ever met. The last time I seen him was at a church I was attending in Warren. He gave a beautiful sermon which I marked in my Bible. I know he loved the Savior which he preached about every time he had the chance and I know he loved all of you. May God give you peace and contentment knowing he is sitting at the Throne of God. My sincere condolences to each one of you.
