My deepest sympathy to cousin Larry’s wife Sandy and family. I remember him as being very sweet and funny. Although it’s been a long time I had very good memories of him. Again I’m so sorry for your loss.

I have such a vivid memory of the day I stood in your back field and watched Sandy and Larry take off through that bumpy field in the 2 man Ultralight plane. I wondered if I would ever see you again. Now, I just picture Larry flying off in that plane and landing in the arms of Jesus! Prayers and Blessings for all the days ahead! Love, Love, Love you!

Sandy my deepest sympathy. Larry was an amazing man and you both were a great team. I am out of town for the winter, so I regret that I cannot honor Larry in person. Margo
