Larry Alexander

Larry Wayne Alexander was born June 29, 1948, to Curtis and Velma Alexander (nee Pitt)
in Evansville, Indiana. A 1966 graduate of Thornton High School, Larry also attended Thornton Community College, both in Harvey, Illinois. On May 27, 1972, he wed Vernita Clark and together they migrated to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where they would raise their four children. Larry followed God's call to evangelism, passionately proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ over decades of ministry across the United States. As Vietnam-era Army veteran, Larry's ministry reflected his strong support of veteran services. Throughout, he remained a mentor to countless young people and a civically active member of Oklahoma's Republican Party.
