Larry and I were good friends for many years. He was the Fire Chief in East Alton and I was the Fire Chief in Rosewood Heights. We served on committees together and sat through many meetings together. Our two departments trained together and handled many incidents together over the years. Larry was always willing to help whenever he could. He was a great asset to his community. The good times we had will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go to Jan and his family. Rest in peace my friend. Thomas Friedrich, Retired Fire Chief, Rosewood Heights Fire Department.

Haven't seen Larry for many years but I remember he with his wife Jan, as fun loving people. We went on many canoe trips together, with his brothers. Prayers for Jan.
