Yesterday

Larry was a great friend to my brother Ernie. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was fun to be around when we were visiting the family or camping on the Oregon dunes. The world will be a bit sadder with his loss. Linda you are still our family's friend and hope to see you when we are in Nevada County.
