What a great friend to Larry and I. He was the best man in our wedding and he Was a "best man". Hanging out, playing softball and just being around him was always a joy. He never had a harsh word to say about anyone, and everyone that knew him, loved him. He had the best attitude and will be missed by so many and loved by more.
