My dear friend bop Larry I was so sad to hear of your passing. We will join at the hips as kids in the old neighborhood in Arkansas. We ate together we ran together our parents and grandparents kept us together and you and I were the best of friends along with Michael Ray Robert Fawcett. Period.
We did a lot of things we learned a lot of things
I was glad one fall night about five years ago. We reconnected through social media and we began to talk on the phone.
At that time you´ll beloved Kansas City Chiefs were taking over the NFL we talked about it on many occasions my Green Bay Packers wasn´t that bad but we were when the Super Bowl.
We never got a chance to meet up at we´re playing because life got in the way the last few years but I want you to know that I love you as a kid as a brother and our time on the phone brought back those good memories. Rest on dear brother.
RIP
Mike
