Larry gave of himself to everyone. He was such a great person who I met in grammar school, all those many years ago and Larry
kept us all together with chatty news letters and reunions. Netty I pray you dont have too many lonely
nights after 68 years of
wedded bliss. Hope that clossknit family of years keep you happy and busy!
Larry I will miss having you in my life although we didnt
see each other that often
Goodbye, old friend
