One of the smartest and mission-dedicated general officers I ever worked for - he led by example. He was the same at Raytheon and the Space & Rocket Center. Larry was also someone that took care of his people. I know, I was one. RIP, sir. It was an honor.

Larry was a good friend, alcove mate, and great boss. Always upbeat and ready to provide great advice. Ed Bryla
