Larry,
I have so many memories growing up of sitting next to you, my father, and the rest of the boys at the "Millionaires's Table" as you would handicap the days races. As I look back, I will always remember your humor, but mostly your kindness. Thanks for all of your friendship, I'll miss you.

Larry,
Thank you for all your stewardship during the difficult period of young adulthood. Thanks for believing in me. Thanks for showing me how to discipline myself. Thanks for all your advice-even if I didn't follow it. Thanks for pumping up the softbal team with your bare-handed catches. Thanks for all your friendship. I will never forget you.

Larry was one of my first bosses when I entered the work force. He was a great leader, well organized, and had the neatest handwriting of any boss I have ever had. What I enjoyed most about Larry though was learning how to bet the horses. I will always remember Larry. May he rest in peace.
