Back in the 70s Larry and I were partners at the Rock Hill Police Department.
We were more than that. He was a trusted friend. I had great respect for Larry and knew I could count on his trust and he had my back in some tough spots.
Even though I haven´t seen him in years I firmly believe the world has lost a great man. A great man!
