Dear Larry, Way back when Mandy introduced me to you at his home and later, I arranged for Lous to meet you too, you were always a kind and loving friend who never wavered from your responsibilities as a thoughtful and caring man. Your jokes and smile carried us through life. If we needed you, you were a phone call away. Unless you were too involved with other friends or having to work, you never turned down an invitation to our home, to go out to eat together, to help pack statues with Louis when he was under a deadline, to care for your Mom, Sharon or her Mom, your children and all whom you helped represent in arbitration during the many years you worked at the Post Office. At times, you must have spread yourself thin, but you persevered.Sure you could be tough when it seemed you needed to be. I believe you were mostly true to yourself, as most of us have to be in order to survive our daily tasks and duties. You protected your integrity by being honorable and righteous. Your having loved those who saw your best traits, decency, fairness and sincerity went a long way. Louis and I will love you always and we feel honored and so glad that we made time for each other, here and there to share our lives with you and Sharon... Gracie de la Rosa and hubby, Louis Wages.
