Whitey is one of a kind - very caring and a true friend. Been friends with him since teenage years. Love the memories of Him and Robin, Ron and I camping on the Ohio River. Whitey will be always loved and greatly missed. Many prayers to Robin. Dee McKee

I was the babysitter for many years & became close friends which included me in the family camping & skiing. One day Larry & I had been skiing on the Ohio River & decided to float on rafts while dinner was being prepared. We both fell asleep & the current took us very far away. Janet (1st wife) jumped in their Omar Bread Truck & gave chase on the road by the river yelling at us. We would've been in danger soon had she not woke us up. We laughed & laughed! I loved this family so much. Larry will be missed...Respectfully, Carolyn Wilson
