I just now found out about the remembrance. I am sorry I missed it. I met Larry down at Mels, Computer for Kids. He was so open and willing to help with my questions. As I got more into volunteering down there the more, I really liked Larry. We as a group of old guys would sit and talk about when we were younger. He always had a good adventure story. Whether when he was in the Navy or camping up in Canada. He collected rocks and so do I, we had that in common too. I had sad days when I found out he had fallen and was in a coma. I will remember him forever. He was a good man and friend.
