At SPHS 40th reunion, Carol and I renewed a long time friendship. I love this dear friend for all the reasons many of you shared. Carol introducied me to "The Beatles", shared numerous Dodger stories, hosted my journey through her beloved Hawaii, staying at her home inLeilani Estates, sharing our love for family, always her twin daughters a priority! Visiting our home in Washington, Aunty Carol, loved up our son and cheered his high school baseball pitching on to a 3-0 record, on her visits. Certain the Lord has given this Aloha woman a front row box seat. I will deeply miss my friend, as her daughters shared, "fun, crazy and wonderful mom." Mahalo Carol!
Larry moved to So Pas from Guatamala where his dad was employed. He lived on Oak Streeet and then moved to a large English Tudor on Marengo and Laurel. I remember the day he moved in and playing hide and go seek as fourth graders, driving his mom nuts. His mom, an english lady, Gita, always made the best grilled cheese sanwiches as we passed the hours in his backyard swimming and getting into trouble. We would journey to the So Pas Review togther to deliver our papers every Tuesday and Thursday and down to the Arroyo for baseball practice, we were part of a gang of young ones, always seeking new adventures in So Pas. .
I always enjoyed surfing with Larry as Jim Ward has shared. One of the best events from his home is every Christmas Eve his Dad would play the trumpet at midnight welcoming the arrival of Christmas Day with carols. Living down the street on Marengo our faamily would wait up till Mr. Porter concluded his playing.
One of the highlites for my wife Beth is when Larry showed up at the 40th class reunion and sat next to her, explaining about so many of our classmates as only Larry could share. His smile was always contagious for anyone he met and his humor that night kept my wife entertained. His uniiqueness for living life will always be remembered by his friend down the street, fellow Marengo School, paper boy, Little League Teammate, Cub Scouts Den 7C, Spruce Street Sewer Explorer and surfers from the 60s. God Speed larry!
