I am so sorry to hear this, Larry (Sketter) was such a joy to be around. I remember the days playing softball with him and Keith. Both of them were great people to be around and I am glad God gave me a chance to meet such a great person. May God bless all of his family and remember he is in Heaven making a place for the rest of his loved ones. Heaven gained another angel.
