What can be said about Larry that hasn't been said before ?

He was like the brother we all wanted. when it was time to work, he worked harder than you did just to show you he could. when it was time to party ...... watch out Larry could party. I don't believe I ever saw him angry with anyone, but, he did expect you to do what you were supposed to do and if you needed help doing it, all you had to do was ask and he was there to help.

It was a very sad night in the 129th the night 257 went down. the whole crew of 257 was well liked.

I guess I miss Larry most of all the men we lost.
