John and family: He was a great teamate and was sardonically funny every day. He was a great punter[ I was his long snapper], a good tackle and a great pitcher. He is remembered for his humor, quick insights and one liners. Now you join your battery mate, Tiny Campbell in that field of dreams.  I echo Phil Franks thoughts my friend. God watch over you and yours til we see each other again.

Sad to hear. Larry was a great athlete and fun teamate. Played basketball and football with him and he was somthing to watch. He always had that half smile on his face .... and the only time that smile left his face, someone was about to meet his fast hands, even in a basketball game. Only guy I ever knew who could hit a referree, who had run up behind him to break up a fight ... and not get thrown out. Larry didn't know it was a ref, and he turned and hit the ref so fast ... .  Apparently the ref realized what happened and we went on playing. And to be frank, he was popular with the ladies. Never saw him without at least one in the halls. I lost track of Larry and I understand life got harder for him. I like to think it would be different now, but I have told my kids Larry Terry stories for years.  He is missed.

From Rich Bartolomei

I too was shocked and saddened to learn of Missie's passing. A lifetime goes by in such a short time. She missed the 40th but I am glad we all got to see and be with her for the 50th. She and my wife sat and talked, and my wife liked her, and her stories. Men liked her, women liked her. Everybody liked her.  Missie was one of those people you always enjoyed and rememebered. I remember her in school, her laugh, and her legs, which I reminded her of at the 50th. She had a smile as big as the chrome grill of her Chrysler.  I remember Corky slow rolling his new Opal over catching a rut on her land. I remember us both avoiding a serious injury by me making a bad pass out by her house joy riding on a summer day. We were daring beyond common sense. Youth is somehow lucky and immortal.  She was funny, she was lovely, and she always treated everyone the same, as if they mattered. She looked you right in the eye, told you what she thought, and wanted, and lived her dream out. She knew what she wanted and she did it.  She was full of life, and vivacious then, and she was the same at the 50th. A life well lived. I am grateful to have known her, grateful for the memories, and will miss her. Rich Bartolomei
