The family of Larry Dean Hodge, age 80, has invited the PGR to honor their Hero as he receives his final honors. We are privileged to do so.
Larry Hodge enlisted in the US Air Force shortly after graduating high school in 1962, he served 4 years active duty and was honorably discharged at the rank of AC3. He went on to serve another 4 years in the reserves.
After his military service Larry worked all his life as a salesman for various companies. He loved to talk and he was good at it, those skills made him a very good salesman. Larry also loved to fly those big remote controlled planes, he loved to play golf, but most of all, he loved his church and the Lord. He loved to be goofy and make everyone laugh.
Larry is survived by wife Carolyn, and step daughters Carol and Maria. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran.
