We are sad to hear of Larry’s passing but know he has found relief from pain. I enjoyed visiting with Larry at our Horn family reunions and uptown in Wyaconda.
Dad and Larry knew each other most of their lives. I’m sure they worked together on a few carpentry projects. They got together to swap stories at the restaurant in Wyaconda or just out on the sidewalk. I’m sure many problems of the world were solved in those gab sessions.
