I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. We worked together at the plant for ten years or so and Larry helped me a great deal when I started there and from then on. He was one of the nicest people I knew; always upbeat and cheerful.
If there is any way at all that I may be of help during this sad time, please let me know.

I worked with Larry at the Westinghouse plant. I would often need his help and was always pleased with the way he responded. He was eager to assist and did his job well. It was fun to work with him and you couldn't help but to like him. My prayers for all the family and friends.

I am very sorry to hear about Larry's death. I knew Larry at Warrington Junior High - Even though I have not seen him for years - reading these notes - he must have remained the same sweet guy I knew back in the 50's.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Larry was one of the nicest and hardest workers I worked with while in Pensacola. He also knew me very well and kidded me about my visit to the production office. I know he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Dear family,
My name is Larry Picard and I would like to know if this is the Larry Pinkerton who lived in Luzon Heights in Warrington as a child. Larry was a great mentor to me and my brother. And a fantastic football star.
God bless you all.

So sorry to hear about your Dad/Grandfather. We always enjoyed talking to him at the ballfield about our boys and the Miami Dolphins. We have missed seeing him the last couple of years since our boys don't play ball together anymore. You are all in our thoughts at this difficult time.
