I was so sorry to hear about Larry.

I am thankful that I was able to catch up with him at Aunt Casey and Uncle Larry's anniversary gathering.

Years ago a group of us cousins (and friends) canoed down the Saco River. Rather than a canoe, Larry chose to take a rowboat. During a run through some rapids on the river Larry's rowboat was hit by a rock and began to sink. We all yelled to Larry to abandon ship, but he stood in his boat as it sunk yelling out "A captain stays with his ship." The group could not stop laughing as Larry's boat finally went under.

Find comfort in memories and family!

Much love,

Jackie Dunn (Marino)
