My husband & I met dear Larry & Ginnie at Queen of Martrys Church in Bradenton
quite a number of years ago. We will miss his smiling face and his updates on his trips to The Trop to see the Rays play. May he rest in peace with his dear wife Ginnie.
Our sympathy to all the family,
Tom & Susan Cormican Queen of Martyrs
