Dear Susan and Diane,

We are sad to hear of our dear friend Larry's passing, but thankful that he is now with his Lord. We saw him 4 years ago in Lancaster. He was actively volunteering and driving his car. We were so honored to have him conduct our wedding service in Arlington, Virginia on June 20, 1964. He was a fellow minister with David many years ago in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. With love in Christ, David and Pam Hitt
