Phi Sig things.

Kathy,
My sincere condolences. I remember the fun years we all had bowling together. Larry was quite the angler.
Kathy:
My sympathy to you in Larry’s passing. I recall Stuart speaking respectfully of the work Larry did in the Biology Department. Larry was one of those people a department depends on to function properly. Perhaps he was retired but I am certain he will be missed.
