I am so sad and so sorry to hear about Larry. I’m planning a trip to Wisconsin and was hoping to visit him and Jan and was looking up their address when this popped up. I sent them a letter recently and it was returned to me so I knew they moved but I didn’t know where. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with your family-multiple generations- my grandparents, our parents, and us kids. Please give your mom a hug for me and I will keep all of you in my heart and prayers. I hope the rest of the family is doing well.
Ps. I would like to contact your mom if you’d be willing to send me her address. Thank you.
Sending you all hugs and prayers for the loss of Larry. I am thankful for the time that I knew him. Praying for the repose of his soul.
