Larry was a member of our outstanding football team of 1958.  He was also a member of our outstanding track team.

Larry played right halfback on our football team, and alternated with Bud Olmstead and Kirk Armstrong at that position.

Our right halfbacks were all very fast, and were used mostly in reverse plays.  Larry was always tough at practice as 

well as in games.   

Even though  we were team mates I was not close with Larry.  Partly because I was playing end and had different 

responsibilities, but I will remember that he was a dedicated player on our team, and someone who could be counted to

do his best.

 So sad to hear about Larry. Larry was one of my best friends for some seventy three years. I first knew Larry at the age of eight yeas old. Larry and I both attended Emerson grade school as well the four years at Redford High School. Attending Redford I used to pick him up for school for some two years.  During our yers at Emerson we played baseballl together for several summers. Larry and Joan were the perfect match. It happend all thru the days at Emerson and continued on at Redford. I enjoyed every time came to our luncheons with great talks. He had a true love for all of his family. We will miss you buddy.
