This was a great man and I am sorry to see him leave us. Larry joined us at SPHS in our senior year. From the day I met larry he knew exactly what he wanted as a crrear and he did it. I first heard about his goal when I asked him what he was reading when we waited for our class to begin. He said "I'm going to be an airline pilot and he was reading about the job and the requirements. 

I was just hoping to graduate from SPHS on time in 1966 !!!!!!

RI{ LARRY.

My old friend Larry, always the class act. He was like a big brother to me and a good friend as seniors and after graduation. We worked together for his dad just prior to my military service. His dream of becoming a commercial pilot (flying Boeing 777's) came true through perseverance and brains. I've often shared Larry's story and how proud I was of him and his accomplishments. I wish we had stayed in touch..
RIP Buddy.
