My deepest sympathy and prayers are given to you and your family. Although I had only begun to know Larry and Richard by association with the CAP and EAA309, I have been looking forward to deepening our acquaintance and friendship in the future, and the passing of Larry is heartbreaking. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Christian, a man with a wonderful heart, loved flying. If he had his medical, he would have soloed months ago in his Cherokee. I will miss him. My wife and I have offered prayers and Masses for him. May he be at peace.
