My sincere condolences to the Hemphill Family and extended relatives. I have known Larry since we were grade children in Buffalo, NY. He was very outgoing with remarkable hidden talent, that bloomed in a exciting fashion as he matured. His Navy service rewarded him very well upon his discharge. Scholastically, he excelled. Surprisely, he was a great receiver in High School as a football player, and was on a the 1955 Lafayette High School Championship Basketball Team in Buffalo. Overall, this man was his own man. Rest in Peace Larry, and I hope and pray that your Family will find comfort and peace in the Love and your legacy you were able to share with them. Peace.

George was a great person and a really good worker and even better friend. He will certainly be missed. It is hard to believe that he is gone at such a young age and after living such an active and healthy life.
