Larry was a great American, a great Marine and a good friend! We raised a lot of hell growing up in Canandaigua, New York, "back in the day!" Larry was killed in action the same year I was drafted, 1969. I spent 1970 between New Jersey and Oklahoma and all of 1971 "across the pond," in I Corps with an artillery unit. I thought of Larry often and wondered if I would share the same fate. The Good Lord blessed me and watched over me till I came home in December 1971.

I have a rubbing from the Wall for Larry, Ralph Rizzi and guys from my unit that never made it home. I always try and catch the "Moving Wall" whenever it is anywhere near.

Larry, I know that you are spending your days in the House of the Lord and that He is watching over you!

God Bless!
