I carry with me many great memories of Larry from the time we spent on the basketball court at good old LCHS and one season at the new LCHS. Was a great friend and teammate. You have my deepest sympathy.

Coach Engle was the best coach I ever had. But more important, he was a friend. I will always remember the pacing with the stick of chalk......before the game....during the game.....at halftime.....at the end of each pace, he would stop, bark out some important instructions, then back to the pace....then to the chalk board. RIP Coach.
