I just learned of Larry's passing by chance. I knew Larry for more than 20 years. We trained our dogs together, he Rottweilers and I German Shepherd Dogs. He was a member of my Dog Club and he was also my mentor and teacher with regard to art of dog tracking. He was the best tracking handler I ever knew or saw. Besides all of this, he was just a good all round guy and a good friend. When he retired from dog training I did not see him often but I did a few years back called him for advice and as always, it was excellent.

I'm so glad that we got to reconnect our friendship with our monthly brunches. I've known Larry since I was 12 and my husband was as happy to get to know him at the brunches. Larry was always such a nice guy. Our deepest sympathy to you and our prayers for him that he is happy and pain free. Judy and Jake Mueller
