Marge, John and family, may the Good Lord comfort and be with you during this time of sorrow and loss. Larry was a little older than me, but I went to school with John. I also remembered Marge from my days of youth and it was a privilege to become better acquainted with her through the years. Larry and my oldest brother Bill went to school together. I was well acquainted with his mother's side of the family, the Oneys. Grew up on Lickskillet with his mother's parents, brother, and nephews. Ralph Floyd knew Larry from the Mead and often spoke very kindly of him. Larry will be missed by all who knew him but he will be alive forever in your memories of him. That is a great picture of him.
