It is a sad time . The last of Grandmas boys . I loved all of my Uncles and have very fond memories of each one . Larry Don instilled my appreciation of the woods and nature . He taught me to read animal tracks at a very young age ,as a preteen he built an authentic teepee had a german shepard as his friend of course that impressed his young niece who tagged along as much as she could . I was always intrigied by his adventures as an adult The boys would talk about Alaska the last frontier wouldnt it be great to go there, Larry Don did . He had a long and interesting life . Travel well Uncle we love you .

Carol,
I just learned of Larry Don, I am so sorry for your loss, he was a very kind man even though I only knew him for a short time. I pray for peace and love at this time after losing your brother in law.
God Bless.
