Bailey, here is my note to you followed by my note to your dad. We studied hard. We know that you can neither destroy mass nor energy. If you seemingly destroy one, the other is created, but in the end they are one in the same. Your dad's energy is in all of us, it is in you. If you ever need a dose you just reach out to those of us who know him best and we will dish it out. Much Love!

"My Exeter brother... people saw black and white but we just saw likeness, similarities in each other, in our hearts. Outside appearances didn't matter. Big city Philly and small town Carolina are a perfect fit. For 4 years we shared a room - shared our lives. I took a liking to Geto Boys. You took a liking to Garth Brooks. You were the fastest mammal on land... I tried to be the fastest mammal in the water. Your laugh and smile make my day. They are windows into your soul - not an ounce of bad. All good and genuinely the nicest guy in the room. You ARE indeed a rose as your boy DH Lawrence said so well:
I am myself at last; now I achieve
My very self, I, with the wonder mellow,
Full of fine warmth, I issue forth in clear
And single me, perfected from my fellow.

Here I am all myself. No rose-bush heaving
Its limpid sap to culmination has brought
Itself more sheer and naked out of the green
In stark-clear roses, than I to myself am brought.

Love you buddy,
Bamert

Sending my deepest condolences to Larry´s family. During high school Larry was my teammate, friend, neighbor, and someone who always put a smile on my face. I cherish the memories of our accomplishments and those formative years with Larry. I will always remember his amazing spirit and will miss him. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
