On behalf of the GCHS Class of 1971, I extend our condolences to Stan and his family. Larry had written an update since his graduation, which was shared at our reunion this past summer. I was grateful he reached out to us.

An extraordinary gentleman who made us all better. A Cold War veteran and our resident artist, he taught watercolor and drawing, and produced eye-popping masterpieces. Loving and beloved, a gift to us all.
