Aunt Irene, I am so proud of you and Uncle Larry. You are both such special people. Uncle Larry was one of my favorite uncles growing up, and I was so proud of the fact that he had been a soldier in Vietnam. Love you and will keep you in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Larrys passing. He was someone I truly admired and looked up to while I was in high school. There was never a time when he didnt make me laugh.
Rest In Peace Sir!
