Not sure what to say?

Know that you are not forgotten........rest in peace

May this candle continue to shine brightly for you Larry........

Sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I always enjoy his company in all of the classes we had together at LTHS. He will truly be missed by all.

Thought of you today.....

I am saddened to learn of Larry's passing. I was one of his students, at LTHS, in the 70's. He was a wonderful teacher. Not long ago, I became re-acquainted with some friends from high school.

Larry was a Sergeant of Infantry in the 4th Platoon while I was the 2nd Platoon Leader. Our interaction was infrequent at best but I remember him as a proud and courageous warrior.
