Would like to thank all my rodeo buddies.
In March 2009, Larry suffered from a massive stroke which now affects his speech
and mobility on his right. He has come a long way to overcome his obstacles. I am proud to say that he is a very strong man
and a very determined one too. This has not changed the man that he once was; he is still the same Larry Bull and always will
be.
You still see him at rodeos and always will be there to support those who love
rodeo. He always visits and jokes with everyone. He has not forgotten anyone and will always remember you. We would like to
thank those who have prayed for him and still do and also that has been there for him throughout this ordeal.
