This has already been a rough year for the class of '64. I guess it's to be expected, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier. Larry is one person I wish I'd gotten to know better. I knew him slightly in H.S., but as you all know, with 900+ students in our class plus another 1,000 or so behind us, one could only know so many. Still, thanks to Ray Guidagni's breakfast gatherings I've been priviledged to get to know several guys the second time around. Larry Butler was one.
Larry literally lit up the room. He was very congenial & outgoing with a great sense of humor. He was obviously a "people person" and spending a little time with him over breakfast was always a fun time. One of our best breakfasts was one where Larry chaperoned a lady (gasp) from our class to the festivities (Jean Woodliff, I believe), and a great time was had by all. I last saw him at an affair of Ray's last year. Larry was his usual jolly self, looked great & seemed without a care in the world. He'll surely be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him well.

Larry and I became friends through the veteran's forum. We didn't know each other at NHS. I'm saddened to hear of his passing. Rest easy, brother.Bruce Erricson
