I'm sorry for your loss, and it sounds large. I graduated a year before Larry. We were not friends, but I saw him many times wandering the hallowed halls of John Adams. Seems to me I remember he was one of the 'good guys'. From reading above he was a 'good guy' his entire life. I pray that you mourn his loss well, laugh and cry as you share memories...he would have wanted that. His goodness will live on!!! Another Eagle has flown into the clouds. God bless you one and all! G
