Delores, Vicki, Randy, and all grandchildren, Judy and I are so sorry for your loss. He was a great friend of mine whom I met thru the Army Reserves and remained good friends until now. I know you will all miss that smiling face and happy go lucky attitude, but I will too. There are people that are friends and then there are good friends. Larry was my good friend. Again you have our sympathies. I did not realize the rosary was last nite or I would have been there. I have to film the Andrew Heard memorial in Cuero today so I may not make the funeral, but my thoughts and prayers will be with you all. Love James and Judy Leist.
