His pride and joy was his family. He enjoyed his grandchildren to the fullest watching them play baseball and all of their sporting events. But in the local baseball community he was known and loved as "Papa Larry." PaPa Larry was known for his infamous chair, his love of the sport and his early arrival for the games! He was a Son of the Confederates and enjoyed researching his family Genealogy over the years.
He was a member of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Valdosta. He was a man of God that was kind, generous and greatly loved and respected by all of those who knew him.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Charlotte Lunsford Dennis of Lake Park; three daughters and two sons-in-law, Stacy and Bruce McFarland, Lisa and Hernan Posas, both of Valdosta, and Jillyn Dennis of Lake Park; 8 grandchildren and spouses, Shelby and Mike Mills of Woodstock, GA, Jake and Sam McFarland of Valdosta, David Posas of Macon, GA, and Emily and Eric Posas of Athens, GA, Jose Posas and Anna Whitlow of New Orleans, LA. and Carlos Posas of Salt Lake City, Utah. Three great grandchildren, Hayden Mills of Woodstock, GA, and Nelmy June and Theodora Posas of New Orleans, LA.; 2 sisters and brothers-in-law, Glenda and Ealie Herring, and Judy and Jimmy Whiddon, both of Lake Park, GA; 3 sisters-in-law and 2 brothers-in-law, Glenda Powell of Thomasville, GA, Ruth and Wendell Clements of Winston Salem, NC, and Melba and Clyde Amerson Jennings, FL; many nieces and nephews as well as the Carnley family from Pensacola Florida.
A memorial service for Larry V. Dennis will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, October 18, 2019 in the chapel of the Carson McLane Funeral Home with Rev. Scott Horne officiating. The inurnment will follow in the Hickory Grove Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
