To my "second favorite" Sir Knight, Larry. Of course you and H.L. Evelyn know you are second only to my "favorite" Sir Knight, Marty, my husband. Evelyn learned when I ran right past her to get my hugs from you. I miss you, but I know you're at peace and in a better place, waiting for me with your magic marker. I'll bring the plunger charm. You were there for Marty and I during a very challenging time in our lives, we will never forget that. With wonderful memories, great respect and much love, Becky.

SK "Larry" became my big brother, he and my brother shared a lot of military memories from their tours in Vietnam, not all good . He became
My big brother after the death of my brother Lee. Larry was always there to listen to any problems and give good advice . Our year in the Grand East would not have been possible with out his and Evelyn´s support . He will always have a special place in my heart and be "Sweet in my Memory"
Rest now in Peace, Larry until we meet again .
Amaranth love,
