Larry Vance Colby
Vidrine, Louisiana
1943-2016
Larry Vance Colby a resident of Vidrine Louisiana, 73, died on November 10, 2016 in Farmington, New Mexico . He was born March 29, 1943, in Little Rock Arkansas to Earl Kenneth and Laura Colby. He graduated from Fuller High School in 1961. Larry worked as a Telecommunications Engineer at Hutchins and Wunnenberg Engineering for 32 years and retired in 2008. He was currently employed as a Telecommunications Engineer with CHR Solutions. Larry is survived by his wife Kimberly of 17 years, two daughters Kathy and her husband Greg Smith, Kristin and her husband Chris McBride, one son Chuck and his wife Meagan Lafleur, one sister Linda and her husband James Jones, two nephews Larry and Tony Jones, 10 grand children Nick, Bailey, Kirby, Jaxon and Lucas Smith, Audrey Ortego, Collin and Cooper Lafleur, Graham and Molly McBride, his mother-in-law ParaNell Vidrine Lafleur and brother-in-law Kevin and his wife Jean O'Connor. He was preceded in death by his parents. Larry was a fountainhead of knowledge and always a source of inspiration, he has left behind a rich harvest of memories to cherish, honor and emulate. The smile on his face, sound of his voice, his laughter and caring soul will be greatly missed by all of us. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. A celebration of Larry's life will be held in Arkansas at a later date.
Gone Fishing
I've finished life's chores assigned to me,
So put me on a boat headed out to sea.
Please send along my fishing pole
For I've been invited to the fishin' hole.
Where every day is a day to fish
To fill your heart with every wish.
Don't worry, or feel sad for me,
I'm fishin' with the Master of the sea.
We will miss each other for a while
But you will come and bring your smile.
That won't be long you will see,
Till we're together you and me.
To all of those that think of me,
Be happy as I go out to sea.
If others wonder why I'm missin'
Just tell 'em I've gone fishin'.
Larry's care is entrusted to Cope Memorial Chapel 404 w. Arrington, Farmington, New Mexico 505-327-5142. Those who wish to leave their condolences may do so www.serenityandcompany.com http://www.serenityandcompany.com
