I am so very sad to hear of Larry’s (Butch’s) passing. He was my step father back in 1968 and 1969. It was a short time but I loved him. I stayed in contact with him for many years after he and my mom got divorced. This many years later, I feel a very hollow place in my heart where he lived. Larry meant the world to me.
