In 1960 he married the love of his life, Sharon Tarver and they raised their two boys Larry Jr and Gary in Mustang, OK. After a 30 year career he took an early retirement.

He is survived by his wife Sharon of over 55 years, son, Larry Jr. & his wife Rhonda; son, Gary & his wife Jane; 7 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren; his special aunt Wanda Wright; as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and a host of extended loving family & friends.

The Patterson Family appreciates all the support given, the phone calls, food and most of all the many prayers on our behalf. We were unable to set up an account for the Rwanda Missions. Please make all donations directly through Crossroads Church with a memo stating, "Rwanda Missions for Gary Bohanon." Or please make a donation to a Mental Health Research Center of your choice.
