Edelgard and I only knew Larry for a brief moment in our lives, but that time revealed to us that he was a very friendly and caring person who was lovingly dedicated to family and was one of America's finest protectors of our freedom. We are saddened by his passing and pray that God will provide peace and comfort to Debbie and family.
