We are sorry to hear of Larry's passing. We didn't know he had been sick. It has been quite a while since my brothers or myself had seen him but, we will remember his big smile. We will remember the football games on the front lawn at the phone company. In High School he was always smiling and laughing as he tormented the teachers. He and my brothers spent a lot of time hiding their cars from each other in the neighborhood's around Meadowbrook. Larry's Toyota was small and he could almost be invisible. We can still see his face as he left long drag marks in front of my mom's house knowing he'd be long gone by the time she could open the door to fuss at him. Our deepest sympathy at this most difficult time.
