Very few times do I make a trip to Christiansburg that I didn´t see Larry walking five miles faster than the speed limit going to his next obligation. I´ll miss that; I´ll miss Larry. He always seemed to be glad to see me, and I think he was. Larry was part of a great family and had two terrific gals. God bless all of you. Larry will be missed by many, many people.
