Worked with Larry for about 2 years back
in the mid 80's. I'll never forget what a wonderful personality along with the great stories he would come back with after his hunting trips. Larry was one of those special people that even now, when I think about him, I smile at the memory. So sorry to hear of Larry's passing.
