I have been lucky to known Larry since he was 13 years old! The red head bopping up and down in the crowded school hallways! He had great parents and became one to his kids( his parents would have been proud). He was everything you wanted in a friend ( loyal and caring) he will be missed. Love you Larry

Served with Larry at NWTGLANT. We spent many days traveling to commands up and down the East Coast. He was an awesome instructor and even better person. My condolences to his family. He will be missed.
