I used to enjoy the times that Larry and the guys would be in the break room (showup), a few minutes each working day talking about things like, where we had to go to set vaults and various other stories. He was sure good worker and a proud veteran, like most are. Thanks for the memories at CSU Larry. You will be missed and God bless your family and United States of America. RIP Larry until we meet again.

I, unfortunately, did not have the privilege of knowing Larry. I am a friend of his daughter and she is truly an amazing woman. Her mom must be and dad must have been equally amazing to have raised such a strong, intelligent and courageous woman. My thoughts are with the family during this sad and difficult time.
