Around 40 rostered leaders from the Gulf Coast Synod vested and were a part of the service:
Into your hands, Merciful Savior, we commend your servant Larry. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him in to the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light.
