Mr. Larry, as the kids call him, turned Levi's whole day around.

"I can tell Mr. Larry is nice and his heart is filled with joy," Levi said in a news release. "When he got me the pajamas, I did a happy cry."

Farrish Jr., who previously worked as a correctional officer and a truck driver, says he's found his calling.
