My favorite memory of Mr. P is when he bravely took Michelle and Becky, my sisters and me to the Circus. We loved it! Rest peacefully, Mr. P. Until we all meet again.

My sympathy goes out to Joan and family. I went thru grade school with Larry. He was fun to be around and always got things moving, such as our high school class reunions. Proud to have been his classmate for all those years. Loved running into him from time to time. He will be missed by many.
