    My condolences to Larry’s family & friends.I also am a graduate of Lockhart High School class of 1970.I remember having gymn class with Larry. Now that I am retired, I often wonder whatever happened to my classmates.Did they change the world? Were they successful? It appears Larry was successful in the most important area of life. He was a good husband,father and friend. Sleep well classmate of Lockhart High 1970.

    I worked with Larry at Wickes Lumber in Austin Texas for two years before joining the navy. A lot of good times with Larry; he was in every respect “one of the good ole boys” that I had the priveledge to know. To his family I extend my sincerest condolences.

    I used to live on 402 South Church Street behind the old HEB and antique shop. Not a block away from the concrete sewer and historical home with the round globe lanterns. Three blocks away from the old Weust’s, and Eugene Clark Library.
