I first worked with Larry when I first started my postal service career at the Normal P.O. 12/29/79. One of my funny memories was when I once answered the phone and the voice said "May I speak with Mr. Iodice"....pronounced (Yo-de-shay) I told the person on the phone that there is no person by that name Iodice working here. It didn't take me long to figure out I was mispronouncing his name. It happend that it was Mrs. Iodice calling. She straightened me out rather quickly.
