Wonderful memories with Larry. He and I shared the Love of old things...finding a use for, or I'll need that someday !!! I could have climbed around in the salvage yard all day or the Ole' Brick House !!! <3 Those days are long gone....Yet the Memories, colorful and I shall treasure them always and hold them dear to heart. Thinking of Larry...I see His penmanship....his Bibs....his wild hair on some days....him barefeet, slopping sealing on a trailer roof...his slight whimsical smile....He will be missed with tender affection. Prayers of comfort to his family with Love !

I bought parts for my first car....a '56 Chevy from Larry in 1974. Over the years since, Larry became a good friend not only to myself, but also to my wife and sons. Lots of great memories at his place. He was one of a kind and will truly be missed.
