To Mary Jane and Family, Pat and I send sincerest. condolences. All my young years in Pittsburgh one of my great role models was my cousin "Junior" Wallisch. He was a veteran of the Air War in Europe and a great person to be with. His father, my Uncle Lawrence, told me of his great pride in his son, Larry, and how he did most everything with excellence. The record speaks for itself. Truly an outstanding member of the Greatest Generation, Larry Wallisch is a person who made a difference . . . to family and country.
