Sandy, I am sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I played baseball with Larry at Plattsburgh State. He was a great ballplayer and a role model for our team. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Sandy, I will miss seeing you everyday at Hill House. I loved spending time with Larry when I was working on 3-11, I would sit and tell him about my daughter misbehaving and he would reply " Oh boy, Watch it". And once I switched to 7-3, i'd sneak in to watch Charmed with him. I'm glad to have known Larry. He was a great man. He will be deeply missed.
