You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
To this day I fondly remember Dar. I laugh a little each time I think of her.

Dear Mary Jane……
So sorry to hear about Larry…I can’t believe how fast the years have gone by…so many good memories of Larry and I on the golf course….he was a great golfing partner and always fun to be with. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Fondly,
Rick
I am now 88. Larry would be 99 if he was still alive. I miss my older brother. He was a great guy. I always kidder him that he reminded me of Bob Crane who starred as Col Hogan on Hogans Heros.
He may be gone but i will forever remember him to my dying day.
