Talked to my dad last night and he wants to go for a ride so told him to look you up. It was a great ride down here and will be a better ride where you are at. Even though we have not seen you much in last few years you were in my thoughts a lot. You are a good friend. I will see you on the flip side.
We are thinking of you Auntie Ginger, Kristine, Randy, Susan, Taryn and all of Larry’s family.
I’m so sorry Beverly. Larry’s riding in a far better place now..
It is nice to know my Dad was so loved and will be missed by so many. Thanks to everyone who attended his Memorial and left messages here.
