I was so sorry to learn today of Larry’s passing. He and I were college classmates (Dominican College, Racine WI, Class of ’67). I remember that he was class president our sophomore year at Dominican College and president of Epsilon Alpha Delta. Larry was also chairman of the Student Development Board at DC and he won the outstanding senior award for participation in extra-curricular activities. Of course, Larry did not mention that in the obituary he wrote, because he was a modest guy! In 2006, prior to a DC ’67 school reunion, I found Larry and called him. Enjoyed our conversation, but unfortunately, he was not able to attend the reunion. A good hearted man, gone too soon. Rest in peace, Larry.
