I
just heard Larry Pollard died about 3 hours ago CT 4:00 pm Saturday 9/17/2016.
I talked to Kelly but I did not get into specifics. She indicated she will start
making arrangements tomorrow.
Larry had his 72 birthday June 30th. Larry was the Sponsor of the Alabama State
Open and District 5, as well as ACF D5 Mgr. I have no information about
the AL/D5 upcoming tournament, but will be in touch.
I will also post his obituary and a link when available.
