Mark Stanton, Louisville, KY says
I cannot look back on my childhood without thinking of Larry’s presence. Everything from baseball cards to the only fight I’ve ever been in. He beat me and I’ve never been in another fight since, of course we were friends before the night was over. Wall ball on a wood garage door, touch football in the street with our mentor Rick K, basketball in the driveway, daily catch and runners, wiffle ball, even hockey in Lee’s basement, where Larry was the best goalie. Man we did everything together, until we got older and found our own ways in life. I was happy to reconnect with Larry on facebook, he was my friend for life.
Prayers and sincere condolences to Teri and all of Larry’s family. Someday I’ll see you on the other side my friend.
