Larry Gervais

Larry was eager to serve our country with the Army Airborne and joined at

the age of 14. The Army did not find out his age until he had already

parachuted into hostile territory and then sent him home. His favorite

pastimes were telling jokes (always), playing cards with his best friend,

Robert “Ty” Dean, watching the geese on his pond, going to activities with

his church, Ozarks Crossroads, and giving his caregiver, Cora Edwards, a

very special lady, a hard time (just kidding). Prior to his strokes, Larry was

enthusiastically involved as a volunteer at NARMC (North Arkansas

Regional Medical Center) hospital in Harrison.

Larry wished no fuss, hence there is no service currently planned. He has

donated his body for research purposes to MedCure through the help of

Cremations of the Ozarks. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.cremationsoftheozarks.com .
