Curt Tanabe Grand Forks, ND I will always remember Larry and Betty during Tuesday night dinner runs with our motorcycles in the summer. Had many enjoyable times and will miss his friendship. May he have many more journeys in the next life and may God comfort his family.

About thirty three years ago when we were at the base and went to River Heights Church I would keep finding the heavy rubber entry mat thrown out in the grass on the snow. I would drag it back and it would be moved again the next Sunday. I quit doing that after I heard Larry complaining about the guy moving the mat and getting it caught in the snow blower again. Larry was a friendly man. Ernie Lillo
