It has been a year since Larry passed, but I think of him often. We recently had a class reunion and all of us remembered those who have left us. Larry was a friend and classmate, team mate and leader who will be remembered and missed. God bless those in his family.

Larry was one of the most cheerful and sedate guts I met in Aransas Pass High School! Now, I wish I'd kept up with class reunions more, enjoyed seeing him "not changing much" over the years. How sad to lose him to the onery cancer!! Best wishes to his family.
