I met Larry in 1974 thru a mutual friend. We were all young and crazy about fast cars and good times. Larry was always so nice to me. I even got to ride in his little coupe with the rumble seat. He took my picture afterwards saying "I always take a picture of any gal that ever rides in her." So my pic is forever immortalized in his photo album.
We lost touch over the years and just recently reconnected about a year ago. Larry hadn't changed a bit!! Same grin and quiet voice. Larry, you will be missed by many! Love and hugs.

Chased a lot of coon and caught crappie and snagged walleyes with Larry. Worked in the rocks for 27 years with him. Have missed seeing Larry in passed years but thought about him. Good memories.
