So sorry to hear of your lost. Larry was a wonderful person to work with in Motor Vehicle. His sense of humor would always settle the students down during their most nervous time of being road tested. His smile was contagious, a special gift he gave everyone.

I never met Mr. Bushey, but I had friends who had him as their Driver License Examiner, and they said that he was really nice and made sure they weren't too nervous!

Erica and Family,
I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I am thinking of you during this difficult time. I still tell the story of my driver's ed exam with Mr. Bushey as he knew how nervous I was and got in the car and cranked up some hard rock music. He told me to take a "chill pill" and get driving! I will always remember that.
Treasure every moment you spent with him.
