You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Larry was one of the finest State Trooper's I ever worked with at the Circleville Post. He was so kind and always willing to help young officers like me at the time.
May God bless you and comfort you at this time.

Larry, my late brother, Bill, Darrell Cottrill, Ron McRoberts and assorted other miscreants played 'spinner' baseball in the early 50's; softball at Poland Park; and euchre at Jerrys. Lost touch after leaving Chillicothe in 1954. Sorry to hear--my best to the family.
