Love you Uncle Larry, give Grandma Birdie a big hug for me! Some of my fondest memories as a child were our trips to Lansing and seeing our family on Hill Street, but I was never old enough to get in on the card games! You'll be missed but not forgotten! All my love, Larry Gene Wolford (son of Linda Eaton)
