I went to Jounior High School with Larry at Saghalie Jr. High. I remember him being a sarcastic fellow. We were in same grade and also in track and field together. He always wore a basketball jersey or some sort of sports gear. It’s sad to see such a young soul be taken so quickly. I’ll always remember you Larry, my friend, and I even pulled out my year book to see what you signed in it back in the 9th grade. It says,.. “Casey stay cool and have fun this summer”. Larry will continue to live through everyone who shares good memories of him, I know I have a few of those memories and I’m happy I knew him.
We all love and miss you so much, i wish you and I could been closer as adults like we were as children. So much time lost so much time wasted. You and are were a lota like amd struggled with very similar issues. You always be part of me and who I am . I love u big cuz

Love, always and forever
Your lil cousin
