Larry was great mentor for me and instilled in me a love of science that I still enjoy.
He demonstrated that if you are curious and have a desire to learn, you must work for it. He succeeded in satisfying this desire through his education, employment and pursuit through his retirement. Thanks for showing me a path forward.
