For some reason, I was reflecting on my prior service with the McChord Fire Department 28 years ago. I sought to locate old friends on the internet. The first person that came to mind was Larry. What a great man he was! I truly respected him. To my utter sadness I discoverd his obituary. I will forever be grateful to him for the person he was. May GOD bless you and your family. I will always remember you Larry. Rest in Peace my friend.
