I knew Larry and Fern for over 20 years. My late husband, Rex, played golf with the gang from the “Tam O Shanter” for many years. I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. May Larry now be at rest with his lovely wife, Fern! Bless your family! Larry was such a good person!
I wanted to correct my original condolence because I made an error in naming Larry’s! wife. I knew her by her name, Kay, and can’t believe I called her Fern. Please accept my apology.
