Larry and I worked on the old AAT-10 staff together. I learned a lot from him. When I needed a trusted advisor to listen to my idea he was there. More importantly he provided that advice without a hidden agenda or motive. He earned a precious commodity in our lives, trust.

For those of you fortunate enough to call him family, count your blessings
