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.
