I pray your family will have the strength and courage to face the days after losing Larry. Larry was a good friend of mine at HUD from the 1970's until I retired in 2008. He was always kind and fun. I was the Union President and he make visits to my office to have coffee and chat. He often talked about his family, traveling and his home. I know he will be missed by all. May God be with you and hold your hand.
