I am so sorry to hear about Coach Ferguson! I remember him being my PE coach in 4th and 5th grade and I loved him! Me and my friend Katy would sing to him at PE every day! What wonderful memories! Thinking of his family during this difficult time!
Coaching together in our early years at Longview High School was a lot of fun. Larry was always going to keep things light. Going to miss your great sense of humor.

Larry was loved by so many people and had a tremendous influence on young people whom he taught! He was definitely a favorite greeter and never met a stranger! I could find myself looking for him in the back of the church to get my program and have a brief chat. We also went to visit him at his ranch one time and love being with them at the place with all the tough looking longhorns.
Our church and others will miss him so much. We will be praying for his sweet family as the days go by. We also know that he went to heaven because of the way he lived his life ! Claire and Gayle English 💕
Coach Ferguson was one of my coaches at Spring Hill. He always encouraged me as a student-athlete in HS, college, and then during my years in coaching. I appreciate how he took a genuine interest in my career and wanted to know about how my family was doing. More than anything, his walk with Christ was evident and impacted many of us who knew him in a positive way. This Coach made a difference! My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time.
God Bless,
