Larry was an Officer and a Gentleman, and I was proud to serve along with him in Schwabish Hall in Germany. As we were both Captains in Brigade Operations, the same age, and we both decided to transition to Civilian life at about the same time, we were good friends. Larry actually was the one who convinced me to join the Connecticut National Guard, and continue flying helicopters for another 7 years, while he went into the Ohio National Guard. Always professional and always with the right attitude, he will be missed.
