Laurence Ray Simpson

I have good memories of our T-39 time in Italy!
OMO! I miss you!

I have good T-39 memories of Larry in Italy! OMO I miss you!

Lorenzo, Thanks for all the fun times in Napoli, good food, good friends and lots of laughs, spinning around the Pozzuoli palm, driving to work at Capo, detachments in Crete and Norway. Thanks for teaching me handball and for my first carrier landing as copilot. Over the years we shared enthusiasm for the Amiga, a seaplane on lake Washington, a memorable week of rainy yachting on Puget Sound, a mountain bike race in Park City, visits during layovers in SFO and at your cabana in Kauai. Your enthusiasm for everything was remarkable. I hope you find peace in the wild blue yonder.

A few family shots you may enjoy!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Yours was a life well lived... rest in peace.

Simpson family,
Sad news, but I was privileged to share three of the most interesting years of my life with Larry. The world will miss your enthusiastic personality and smile.........Joe Harrell

Larry,
It was wonderful to have been with you in Italy and in VR-24. You are a great guy and you always had a smile on your face. It was great to know you. I know that you brought joy and happiness to all around you.
Rest in peace my friend.
