Larry D. Downing

Larry graduated with my brother Jim and they were good friends in High School. I would see Larry often back then. Came up to Parkville Heights from downtown Parkville to play football behind Jenkins House with the Heese's, Higgins, Jenkins, and Nelsons. Some of those games got pretty rough, but we were all pretty rough kids back then. A good friend of the family. I see after the services going to meet at Ryan's Pizza Shoppe. That was the only place to eat way back then when we were kids. R.I.P. Larry

I went to Park Hill with Larry, we both played football, he was the defensive end rusher because of his speed and size, I was the linebacker on his flank. A funny gentle giant on and off the field. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
