I've belatedly learned of Larry's death.
He was a great friend, neighbor, and classmate at BHS in the mid 1960's.
I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to renew our friendship at our 50th high school reunion.
I have such wonderful memories of playing touch football in the backyard of his parents house along with several of our mutual friends.
Larry was a quiet but steadfast friend.
My family's deepest condolences to Larry's son, grandchildren, and to his sister Linda.

I was saddened to read of Larry's passing. As a fellow classmate from the BHS Class of 1967, I remember Larry fondly. Unfortunately, after high school our paths went separate ways and we lost contact.
It's my prayer that Larry's immediate and extended family find some peace knowing the great life he had and the knowledge the he was a Christian first and a good family man. Heaven has certainly gained a great soul, while he's friends and family mourn a his loss.
