I met Larry, Greg & Casey years ago. I was their bartender. It didn't take long to become their good friends. They were awesome & everyone loved them! We were so happy to have them after deployment. Greg & Casey married & moved. We were fortunate enough to keep Larry around! Myself & all of his friends were devastated to hear of his death. He was such a great man, he will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss, but am so thankful for his friendship. Bless your hearts. Roger, from the Club Car
