To Peg and the Murin family. Please accept my condolences on the recent passing of Larry. I worked with Larry at the Westinghouse Machinery Technology Division located in Large Pa. from 1984 to 1992. It was a pleasure to work with and be friends with Larry. He was a joy to know. I'm sorry that I didn't see the obituary in time to visit at the funeral home. 
Sincerely,
Denny James
