I'm very sorry for your lost. I worked with Larry in the Jet Shop from 1987 until his retirement. He was my trainer, my mentor and most of all a great friend. He will be missed by his family of Jet Engine Mechanics, in the New Hampshire Air National Guard

I am very sorry for your loss. Larry was a person who had a strong influence on my early years in the Guard. He taught me some lessons not only about jets but about myself that I will never forget. Larry made a difference in my life and I feel honored to have known him.
