    We are so sorry to hear about Larry’s death. He was such a great friend to me and Val back in the “good old days”. We spent time together fishing, camping, and just getting together to hang out. I remember going skiing with Larry at Afton Alps, and I’m not a great skier, but when I saw a lone ski coming flying past me…I knew ot was Larry’s! When Larry and I lived above the Arcade, we lived on Hamburger Helper without the hamburger…drinking chocolate protein drinks…and lifting weights. Those were the days! Larry and I both worked in Lake Mills, IA at an oil filter factory. I was put on a line and Larry got a cushy supervisor job! He had a knack for getting the good jobs. I always had a great time with Larry Although he’s no longer with us, our memories of him will NEVER die. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mike & Val Rogers
