The memories of some of those wildeturs going to see trains, the bag pipes. You were an amazing man and I’m glad my father (Ed “Schultz” Gurt) was a friend of yours. The stories you both told at Donut Time while I was growing up were some of the best. My sincere condolences to the whole family.

So many memories from the past between the shoot out with the rabid skunk in the neighborhood that put up the fight of a lifetime to the burning tree. Larry was always great for the one liners and was always looking to make everyone laugh.
