Happy Trails Larry. Oh the times we had growing up together. Can't tell it all here, so let's just say we had a lot of good times living on Lickskillet. I remember the time when Darrel Vest pushed Larry backwards off the Goshen Run church steps. I think Larry wanted to do him in at the time. Spent many a day with Larry at this home, enjoying both him and his parents. Forrest and Irene always made Lickskillet boys feel right at home in their house. And I guess that was home away from home. It is so good to hear that Larry accepted Jesus into his life. I was planning on going to see him when I heard about his passing. Guess that will have to wait until I make the same trip. When Larry saw me any place he always got my attention so we could talk of yesteryear. What a joy it was to talk of the times at Lickskillet. What one of us didn't recall the other one did. One time while still in school Larry told me that his dad had told him he could fight any of the boys in the neighbor except me and my brother Bob. Why I don't know, Larry didn't know why at the time. May God surround each of you with His love and strength during this time of sorrow. Again, I am so glad that Larry came to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Jerry
