Larry G. Warthen

Larry was a hero, a kind and soft-spoken man. We met in Hawaii in the mid to late 1970's when his young family arrived. We became friends and our children were friends and teammates. After our families were moved back to the mainland we kept in touch and even visited a few times. I was sad to hear of Larry's passing and was able to attend his memorial.
