February 21, 2019 at 1:38 amMy best friend growing up. I had lost track of Larry since moving away in the early 90s, but recently unearthed a cassette tape of he and I celebrating the end of the 1970s. It was new years eve 1979 and we were both excited about the decade coming to an end and the 1980s starting. I really didnt see Larry much after that time, but do have great memories as the next door neighbor that visited often. May GOD rest his soul and know that i will be thinking of the entire Meyer family during the viewing and the burial. My love to you all .

February 21, 2019 at 3:34 pmMy mind dances with so many memories of Larry. Our numerous Bible studies together at St Joes, him seated at DaVincis with a book and hot drink in hand, a quick wave as we pass each other walking on a warm summer day. Sometimes catching him seated at a table in the library, battered brifcase and open books spread about him, a shy smile and twinkle in his eye. ”So what subject is it today Larry?” I ask. Larry, eager to share, opens up the conversation and I am amazed anew at the breath and scope of his interests.
Sorry for your loss. Fremont has lost a great and caring soul.
