Tribute creation by Sister Denise

I started to build my Tribute to my brother today. Wow, this is hard.  I've been going though all of his pictures and my pictures and the videos he created on YouTube.  I vaguely remember him telling me, sort of in passing, that he was creating videos of himself teaching others about how to work a lathe. He was humble. He has more than 122 thousand views on his videos. 

Larry really lived his passions: roller skating, audio, machinist, lover of nature, creative cook, health enthusiast and mentor.  It's been a journey seeing his life recorded this way...and I see the gaps between us.  Those years when we didn't make the time to see each other because we were 1000 miles apart.  Those precious years. What I would do to get them back. 

What I didn't realize was how many lives he had touched. I'm thrilled to know that there are so many people out there that love and appreciate him.  I'm doing this tribute for you, Bro, and I'm doing it for all those friends of yours...and I'm doing it for me and our family.  

This is harder than I ever imagined. I miss you, Brother.
