over 40 years Larry filled our life with love and laughter.

His loyalty and

dedication to his family, teacher, students and friends was unparalleled.
A true warrior, Larry served his country as a soldier in Vietnam and served the
martial art community for over 4 decades.
The martial art community has lost a true master. We have lost a dear friend,
but gained so much more by having had Larry in our lives.
Of all that he loved in this life, the martial arts, his students, friends and boxer
dogs, he loved his Debra most of all.
He will be missed.
Survived by his loving, devoted wife Debra Hartsell, Marina Del Rey, CA
Brother, Dale Hartsell and sister Cheryl Hartsell Mills Charlotte, NC
And Simon Dempsey & Chelsea Hartsell (faithful boxer dogs)

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that hell come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all hes left.
Your heart can be empty because you cant see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what hed want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
