One of the highlights of my attending the 6918th RSM/SS 2015 Reunion in Minneapolis was the pleasure of meeting both Larry and Melody. I thank GOD for BLESSING me with that experience. Larry was truly one of a kind and a true gentleman. He will be missed by all of those who served with him in Japan. He is now at his Heavenly Home with his other "Fallen Eagle" Brothers. May he Rest-in-Peace.

We were surprised and saddened to learn of Larry's death. All of his 6918th RSM/SS friends will forever miss him. We so enjoyed his attendance at 2 of our recent reunions, and meeting partner Melody in 2015. Rest in peace brother!

So sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I told Tommy last year that I wanted to visit with Larry. Our family has known the Sheppard family since Austin hood. Larry was a year ahead of me at St. Viator. My condolences to the family.
