THE WALL OF FACES

Larry it's been 54 years since we lost you.
I have never forgotten you.
We grew up together, spending our entire school life and beyond as best friends.
I will never forget the feeling of loss when I was told of your passing.
Larry you made my early life a blessing.
One day we will meet again. When that day arrives I will be able to personally tell you what an incredible honor it was to have had you for a friend.
Until then rest in peace.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Larry, if he had lived, would have been my uncle. My dad , Paul, was his twin brother. My grandparents had what can only be called a shrine to Larry in their house, but they never talked about him. Neither did Dad. All of them are gone now, and all I have are the letters Larry sent home. If anyone knew him, I would love some memories that I could share with my girls.

As your 74th birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Doc
