Larry and I were longtime friends and I will greatly miss him. He was always supportive of Ida Athletics by watching and encouraging his many grandchildren but also doing the same for all members of the various teams. I always admired his great Christian attitude in all he did. He will leave a legacy that all family members should be very proud of. I will miss seeing all the family as I am out of town.
