Larry was a good, good friend from childhood and I often thought of him. I have many fond memories and remember when his little girl was born and how happy and proud he was. My condolences to the family. We had many cups of coffee at the donut shops and at the old Ma's and Bill's restaurant at the "Green". Good bye my old friend.
