Our deepest condolences and prayers on the loss of your Dad. He was truly one in a million. Sorry we did not make the wake, I googled for the information to Waukesha Freeman and found nothing. Thinking it might be posted in todays paper. Larry's laugh and humor is what will stay with us for our lifetime. I am sure he touched many lives. What a guy. What memories and oh what stories! (We will dig up some old pictures of both your parents and forward them on to Dave and Sue)
