Maryanne and family,
So very sorry to learn of Larry's passing. We worked together at GE, and had many laughs over a few beers from time to time. My wife, Kim, and I had the opportunity to attend a Corvette Club party with you and Larry. Crazy fun times! You were his girl always. Very sorry for your loss.
