"Sorry to hear of Larry's passing.
As kids we lived in the same neighborhood and played together. We stayed friends through high school and then lost touch. We did meet once in the 80's when I returned for a hunting trip. Wish we would have stayed in touch.
As I remember Larry he was one of the Good people."
