My deepest condolences to Larry's family. We were classmates at Republic and before that were family friends. I have happy memories when we were kids playing at his farms with our brothers and sisters while our parents played cards and cooked delicious meals. I remember the tragic death of his mother Norma. Larry was a very nice person, and though I have been away from Republic many years, it was always good to see him at the class reunions. I know his family and friends are going to miss him terribly.
