We first worked with Larry at Teledyne Brown Engineering in the early '70s. He became a life-long friend. When we started collecting and showing antique cars we saw Larry often at car shows and even met his brothers. We often teased him about spending most of his time at shows cleaning whatever car he had driven. The last few years we have enjoyed a deeper friendship with Larry and will miss him greatly although we know he is in a better place now that God has called him home. Our deepest sympathies to his family.
