We will always have fond memories of working with Larry at the International Student Company at Redstone Arsenal . He was always very professional and yet sensitive and responsive to the needs of all the students from so many diverse countries. Traveling with Larry and his family will always be remembered as a special time for us and our family. Larry will be greatly missed by everyone.

Dear Betty and Family. I was so sorry to hear about Larry. Helga Lorenz phoned me today to tell me the sad news. Though I hadn't seen Larry in years, I still remember him fondly especially from the good times we had in the NCO clubs in Orleans, France.
