Larry Mauldin was born in Bryan, Texas on July 30, 1944, to Floyd and Theo Manire Mauldin. Larry was committed to serving his country in the United States Air Force achieving the rank of Staff Sargent. He returned to Bryan, in 1971, and married his bride at St. Joseph Church, in the Marian Chapel. Larry and Billie shared forty years of marriage together raising three children Richard, Edward, and Ron. Larry had a passion for his career as a letter carrier in which he carried parcels for thirty years regardless of the weather conditions. To his family, Larry was their all time golf champion. He enjoyed playing on various golf courses in the area and had a great story to share afterward. The world of baseball has suffered the loss of the most avid fan of Astro Baseball. This was a fan that could recall stats of many Astro players from earlier seasons. In all loyalty to Texas sports, he supported the Dallas Cowboys. Larry loved his children and his grandchildren were his world. He was Catholic in faith and shared his beliefs with all his friends and family.
Preceding him in death are his wife Billie Galindo Mauldin; his parents; his siblings Floyd, Virgil, Wilma, and Richard; his brother-in-law Gene Mafhetty.
He is survived by his family Richard Mauldin (Bella Gamboa), Edward T. Ramirez and wife Michele Ramirez, and Ron G. Ramirez; his brother Charlie Mauldin and wife Jeaneen, and Winfred Mauldin; his five grandchildren Amanda, Brianna, Chelsea, Noah, Louis; and a host of other family and friends.
Larry’s family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the Staff of St. Joseph Manor especially, Victor, Natalie, and Tane; The Traditions Hospice Staff, Mickey, Felicia, Chester, John Lampo for the daily calls, and Chaplain Rick Bell. The family epically acknowledges Felicia Espinoza and Johnny Galindo for all the prayer and spiritual guidance shared with Larry during this time.

Just heard about Larry’s passing, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Larry at the P. O. and know all the joys and woes of being a letter carrier. I believe Larry loved his work as I did but those hot summers were tough. We had a lot of talks about life and Jesus and I look forward to seeing Larry again someday in heaven. May God bless and comfort you in these difficult times.
