What an honor to be able to work with Mr. Larry. I learned so much from him. He had a great work ethic, and was very knowledgeable about so many facets of the equipment at the Exxon Docks. Most of all, he was fun to work with. He had a generous spirit, always willing to help people after work too. We missed him when he retired, and will now miss his great spirit for life and family.
