Hello,
I met Larry in April 1991 when I visited my cousin Karen Weichman in Melbourne, Florida (his wife at the time) and spent a few days at Karen and Larry's house. My name is Franz Bertram Voß (called Berti Voß), and a brother of my great-great-grandfather emigrated from Germany to the USA in the 19th century. Karen's grandfather and my grandmother were first cousins.
Larry was a very attentive and polite host. He showed us the beauty of Melbourne in his old Ford Model T, took us on a tour in his boat, and told us many stories from his impressive life. He was very interested in us and the German perspective, so we also discussed current events and politics. For me and us as 18-year-old Germans who were in the "wide world" for the first time, meeting Larry enriched our lives. We are still very close to his wife at the time and our cousin Karen!
I will include Larry and his loved ones in my prayers!
