My condolences are expressed to the family of Larry who I have known since returning home from the Army in 1967 - especially to Teresa, my neighbor & childhood friend from walking to school days during our elementary years. I am sure that Larry's soft-spoken demeanor will be missed by all with who he associated. He was part of L. B. Smith's team of Joe Rambus and my son-in-law, Mike Steeber, that contributed to their success. A man of pure heart and compassion, Larry will be surely missed.
