Larry White was a good friend and classmate going back to kindergarten at STHS in the 1940’s ; then St. Patrick’s grades 5-8 ; then STHS grades 11-12. Just before our STHS 50th reunion Larry mentioned some memories from our time in kindergarten , 1st communion. He reminded me that we took a school bus to kindergarten each morning and that one morning when the bus picked me up my beloved one year old collie Cindy accidentally ran under the wheels of the school bus . Larry said that there were no dry eyes on the bus that morning. We buried Cindy next to an Oak tree in our back yard and my mom and dad arranged by help of our neighbor Dr Erickson for me to have an identical replacement for my beloved Cindy.
Lord , May Larry and all our departed love ones rest in peace. , Amen. Lord , Let your Perpetual Light shine on Larry and all our departed love ones , Amen .
Cousin, rest in peace Rodger will be there to represent me .
I shared office space with Larry at HUD for many years. I was saddened to learn of his death. We were friends.
sincerely, Harry Blus
