Gotta say I miss you Larry and the memories we have shared over the decades. One that every time I hear the song "Dream, dream, dream" by the Everly Brothers I think of taking the jeep up to Wawassee that had no radio and singing that song over, and over. You are missed.

I am sorry to hear of your passing my friend. We had many good times and an occasional bad time. I have so many stories about adventures with Larry. I was the best man at our weddings (yep two) and you were the beat at one of mine. I wan to give my condolences to
Your wife Lisa and Kira who I have known since she was a baby and the rest of your famil. I wish I had some of the crazy pics we took together. Back then we were a couple of “Wild and Crazy Guys”. You will be missed my friend and I wish we had been able to get together. Rest easy my friend I hope they have Shelby’s in heaven because I know that would be your idea of heaven.
