I would like to extend my condolences to Larry's family. I have known Larry for 16 years. His service in the VFW is greatly appreciated. He had a great knack for telling stories and jokes and on more than one occassion he offered his help to me in various situations. I always enjoyed Larry and will remember him as a friend, comrade and a good man.
