20	19		WHEREAS, it is with profound sorrow that we note the
21	20		death of Larry Horace Barnett of Huntsville, Alabama, at the
22	21		age of 77; his departure leaves a void in the lives of his
23	22		loving family, many friends, and the community where he was
24	23		highly regarded; and
25	24		WHEREAS, Larry Barnett was born the only child of
26	25		Robert Horace Barnett and Hazel Louise Painter Barnett in
27	26		Huntsville, on August 9, 1947; a graduate of Madison
28	27		Academy, he attended Free Hardeman University and then
29	28		Tennessee Technological University; a proud veteran, he
30	29		served in the Army Reserve during the Vietnam era; and
31	30		WHEREAS, marrying Janice Tittsworth in 1968, he
32	31		wanted to remain in Huntsville and build his own retail
33	32		establishment; Larry's Pistol and Pawn was created in 1974
34	33		just after the birth of their only child, Robert Noel; no
35	34		stranger to hard work, as he had worked numerous jobs since
36	35		he was nine years old, he loved the business of pawnbroking
37	36		and retail sales; and
38	37		WHEREAS, Larry initially envisioned his business as a
39	38		combination trophy, pawn, and gun shop, but his distinctive
40	39		marketing approach led firearm sales to become the primary
41	40		focus; in 1990, he expanded his North Parkway location,
42		-	adding a larger showroom and an indoor firing range; in

74	73		along Interstate 565 near the iconic "Big Rusty Water

96	95		great-grandson expected in late summer; and
