Cathy,
I want to pass on my sympathy to you as I just read of Larry's passing. He was a great friend and mentor at work and a never-ending source of humor, wit, and had more knowledge of HR than many that I met through the years. He had a special way of making everyone smile and his quiet demeanor endeared a sense of trust that was a mark of his success. Ol' "Skink" carved out a special place in my heart and will always be remembered. Best to you always - Rick

So sorry to hear about his death. Larry would call me from time to time. Always jovial and friendly. A classmate and 1959 Prichard High School graduate and a friend. Praying that each of you in the coming days will find peace as only God can do.
