Delegate Larry Border, a Wood County Republican, has died after a massive stroke. He was 60 years old.
Border was a gentleman. When I worked at the Legislature as an intern every interaction I had with Border was extremely positive. I never heard him speak an ill word. Border's easy going demeanor and good nature resulted in his being very well liked by colleagues on both sides of the aisle. You could tell he was an honest family man.
Sometimes in politics we forget that we are all on the same team- all, for the most part, trying to do what we think is best for society. When interacting with Larry Border one always thought, regardless of whether you disagreed with him on the issue, that he was one of the good guys.
Here is to Larry Border, a credit to West Virginia. He will be missed.
