With sadness in our hearts but also joy in the memories of the “discussions” we all had with Larry “Alabama Larry” White please accept this $1,100 donationto the Larry B White Scholarship Fund from the Bluegrasspreps.com community .

 

Very few of the BGP members actually ever met Alabama Larry but we all feel like we knew the man. It was evident by his loyalty to God, Mama, and Alabama football (in that order) that he was a man of passion and love. Many of us had spirited discussions with Larry about religion. What made him so special was that he was consistent, honest, and committed in his faith. Even when someone challenged him and got a bit sideways with Larry he was always respectful and let you know he would pray for you. In other words, he walked the walk that many of us struggle with.

 

It’s fitting that his family chose that there be a FCA scholarship in his name. He loved to yap about Bama, Louisville Male, his son the kicker, the Yankees, and sports in general. Combine that with the fire he had in his soul and it’s a great combination.

 

It may seem odd to some but our online community is saddened for our loss but thrilled for Larry as he takes his next step in his journey that he has been preparing for so long.

 

Sincerely,

 

The BGP Community

 

Very nice. I think AL would have been pleased. Not about the praise for him but about the help given through the scholarship.

Great letter Clizzy. I think you summed up everyone's feelings perfectly.

Agreed. Great letter!

Yeah, but you spearheaded this thing & was on top of it from the get-go. It may not seem like a huge task to you, but trust us when we give you props for doing this. I know if I could have personally hand-picked anyone for the task, it would have been you..

 

Clyde the catalyst. Well done, Sir. And many thanks!

Very pleased with what we were able to do in raising the money, great job to everyone. With that said has any one else had any contact with his family? Any thing they need, just hope they're doing well all things considered.

We did have one member talk to Larry's wife . She said to make the donation to the scholarship fund.
