They called him "Hambone"

Isaiah 28:26, 29: "The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding. ... The Lord of Heaven's Armies is a wonderful teacher, and he gives the farmer great wisdom."

Born on November 3, 1954 was a baby boy. He was given the name Larry D. Martin by his mother,  Rosie Martin-Bailey in Jones, Louisiana.  Larry passed on January 8, 2024. He was preceded in death by his mother, Rosie Martin Bailey and his daughter, Latori Hill-Turner.

Larry was a farmer by profession, and he loved farming. He was a private person, but was a very fun-loving person, thus the name "Hambone."  He attended Bonita High School.  In his spare time, Larry's favorite hobby was shooting pool.

He is survived by one son, Tony Thornton.
