I'll miss Larry
Larry and I met about 17 years ago, and I liked him from the start. He was always willing to help in any way he could. He fixed a ceiling fan in my home, and once helped me fix a garden tractor. He could fix just about anything. He always seemed to be in a good mood when I saw him, and I am happy to call him a friend. My best to Debra and all of Larry's family. He was one of the good guys, and I'm glad our paths crossed. – Rory
