Larry and I grew up in the same neighborhood and he was one of my buddies. He was a great guy who was good-natured, funny and was always ready to help out a friend. His 23 years of service to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department demonstrate that he was also a courageous man who dedicated his life to serving and protecting others. I'm proud to have known him.

Can't believe Larry is gone. He looked so happy and healthy at the class reunion. Larry always had that good looking summer tan. I just talked to my cousin Tim Fisele at which he reminded me that Larry was our third cousin on the Hulahan side. Larry, you will be missed. My thought and prayers are with your family.
