By using this Website, you signify your acknowledgment and agreement to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these Terms and Conditions, DO NOT use this Website (as defined herein).

These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the Book Of Memories websites (the "Website") and other services (collectively the "Services"). FrontRunner Professional ("Company," "we," "us," "our") reserves the right in our sole discretion to change, amend or modify (the "changes") all or part of these Terms and Conditions at any time and from time to time for any reason. Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be noted by indicating the date these Terms and Conditions were last made. Any changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted; provided, however, that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your use or continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective shall constitute your express acceptance of the Terms and Conditions as changed, amended or modified.

Eligibility: Users under 18 years of age are not eligible to use the Services without consent. Users between the ages of 13 and 17, can use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age; provided, however, that such parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and agrees to be responsible for such use of the Services. Company reserves the right to refuse use of the Services to anyone and to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove or suspend any Campaign, Donation, or the Services at any time for any reason without liability.

Definitions: In these Terms and Conditions "Campaign Organizers" means those raising funds, and "Campaigns" as their fundraising campaigns. Additionally, "Donors" means those contributing funds, and "Donations" as the funds they contribute. Campaign Organizers, Donors and other visitors to the Services are referred to collectively as "Users". The term "Campaign Organizers" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of Campaigns.

Services: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to Users of the Services. Among other features, the Services are designed to allow Campaign Organizers to post Campaigns to the Platform to accept Donations from Donors. Although there are no fees to set up Campaigns, a portion of each Donation will be charged as fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance thereof. The Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Services. To the extent you access the Services through a mobile device, your wireless service carrier's standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Services may work with all carriers or devices. By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding Company and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about use of the Services may be communicated to us.

Charitable Giving: Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible charitable contributions. Any Donation you make through the Platform may be processed by an unaffiliated business partner for which a processing fee (in addition to our FrontRunner Professional Fee) is deducted. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Company is not a charity, and Company does not solicit charitable donations for itself or for any third-party charitable institution. Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations.

Administrative Platform Only: The Services are an administrative platform only. The Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors, and is not a party to any agreement between Campaign Organizers and Donors. Company is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any user. Company has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by Campaign Organizers, and Company hereby disclaims all liability in this regard. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the success or outcome of any Campaign. Donors must in their sole discretion make the final determination of making Donations to any Campaigns. Donors are solely responsible for asking questions and investigating Campaign Organizers and Campaigns to the extent they feel is necessary before making a Contribution. All Donations are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of Donors. Company does not guarantee that Donations will be used as promised. Company does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality, safety, or legality of any Campaign. Donors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their Donations for tax purposes.

No Verification of Campaign Information: We do not verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, and do not guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by Campaign Organizers. We disclaim and assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws.

Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Company in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services' registration form. Campaign Organizers must register using their true identities, including their name and any image purporting to depict the Campaign Organizer. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with (and agree to the terms of) third party service providers (e.g., payment processors or charitable donation processors) in order to utilize such Services. While we may help facilitate such registration in some cases, we are not a party to any such relationships and disclaim any responsibility or liability for the performance by such third parties. We may exchange information with such third party services in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services).

Public Display of Donations: Donors have the option to publicly display their Donations for public viewing or allow their information to be provided to the Campaign beneficiary(ies). To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the appropriate checkbox during the Donation process. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.

Payment of Donations: In order to contribute to a Campaign, Donors will be required to provide Company information regarding its credit card (i.e., VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) or other payment method. Donors represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that Donors are authorized to use the credit card or payment method. Donors agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and cannot be refunded. Donors agree to promptly update account information with any changes that may occur and to pay the Donation amount that you specify. Donors hereby authorize Company to bill Donors' credit cards and payment methods in advance on a periodic basis until Donors terminate periodic payments through the Platform.

Fees: Company does not charge Campaign Organizers any upfront fees for Campaigns. Company retains a portion of each Donation contributed to Campaigns in the amount of four percent (4%) ("FrontRunner Professional Fee"). A portion of the Donation is payable to our third party payment processors ("Processing Fee"). Donors acknowledge that by contributing Donations to Campaigns, Donors are agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by a third party payment processor, in addition to these Terms and Conditions. The portion of each Donation payable to and retained by our third party payment processors are:

        • US Users ONLY: Third party payment processor charges a fee of 2.9% AND $0.30 per donation for VISA, MasterCard or Discover cards or 3.4% AND $0.30 per donation for American Express cards.

        • CA Users ONLY: Third party payment processor charges a fee of 2.9% AND $0.30 per donation for VISA, MasterCard or Discover cards or 3.4% AND $0.30 per donation for American Express cards.

All Tribute Pay Fees and Processing Fees ("Fees") are deducted directly from each Donation and are not reflected in the amount which Campaign Organizers can withdraw from the Campaign. We reserve the right to change any of the Fees from time to time. If we change any of the Fees, we will provide notice of the change on the Website or otherwise, at our option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the change in any of the Fees becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

Indemnification: You agree to release, indemnify and hold Company and its affiliates and their owners, officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, causes of action, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Donation or Campaign, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR". To the extent you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine

DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION (READ CAREFULLY): You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and Company (including our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Company should be sent to 2501 Parmenter Street, Suite 300A, Middleton, WI 53562, Attn: President, with a copy by email to support@tributepayments.com ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand").

2. General Policy Provisions

  1. Definitions

    “Personal Information” includes both “Personally Identifiable Information” and “Non-Personally Identifiable Information”.

    "Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information is requested when you register with us, make a Donation, correspond with us, or otherwise volunteer information, for instance, through the use of "Contact Us". Personally Identifiable Information may include, without limitation, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and other identification and contact information.

    "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We gather certain information about you based upon what you view on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (‘Web”). An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop

    “Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or that concerns an individual’s health.

  2. Notice

    Company shall inform you of the purposes for which it collects and uses Personal Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Company discloses or may disclose that information. Company shall provide you with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of your Personal Information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide Personal Information to Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter. In any event, you will receive notice before Company uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

  3. Choice

    Company will offer you the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether Personal Information is to be disclosed to a third party or to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. For Sensitive Personal Information (when applicable), Company will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. Company will treat Sensitive Personal Information it receives from anyone the same as it would treat its own Sensitive Personal Information.

  4. Security

    Company shall take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No company is immune from Internet attacks or data breaches. Company cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the Internet.

  5. Data Integrity

    Company shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or has been authorized.

Company may use any of the Non-Personally Identifiable Information it has collected in any fashion to select the appropriate audience. Company will not tell the advertiser who you are as part of this process. When you interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that you may receive a cookie from the advertiser.

7. How Company Shares Your Information

Company shares your Personal Information with third parties when it believes you have permitted such sharing, that it is reasonably necessary to offer services, or when legally required to do so. Company will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties in a way that it thinks violates your privacy. The following non-exhaustive list contains examples of how Company shares or could share your information:

  1. If Site allows you to invite a friend to join the Site or become a User, and you choose to do so, the invitation will contain information that will allow your friend to identify you. The invitation may contain information about other Users your friend might know.

  2. Certain information you provide to Company may be shared by using the Site’s search function. This allows other Users to locate your profile and it allows new Users to find people they know on the Site.

  3. Company provides some public information to search engines. This information allows search engines to locate the Site. It also allows people to locate you on the Site using a major search engine. This does not mean all information you post on the Site may be accessed using a search engine.

  4. There are also times when Company may make certain Personal Information about you available to strategic partners or third parties. These companies may help Company process information, render services to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in products and services, or conduct research or satisfaction surveys. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to use Company's Site and services.

  5. Company may also share Personal Information when it has a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect itself and you from people violating the Terms and Conditions of the Site. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, and courts or other government entities.

  6. Company may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if it has a good faith belief that the law requires such a response.

  7. Company may disclose analyzed data in the form of purchasing trends or statistical data. No Personally Identifiable Information will be attached to this disclosure.

8. Business or Asset Transfer or Sale

Company may be sold, sell or buy businesses or assets of businesses, or merge with another business. In such transactions, Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Company, a line of business of Company, or substantially all the assets of Company are transferred, Personal Information may well be one of the transferred assets. Company will make a reasonable effort to provide notice on the Site, and to notify you via e-mail to the most recent e-mail address that you have provided of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

9. Miscellaneous

  1. Privacy of Children

    YOU MUST BE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER TO ACCESS THE SITE OR USE ITS SERVICES. IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS ANY OF COMPANY’S SERVICES FOR ANY REASON.

    Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to Company.

Obituary

Please share your favorite memory of Rev. Dr. David Laurence to be included in a special keepsake book for the family.
Rev. Dr. David Laurence Mawhinney was born on February 4, 1941 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He passed away on September 15, 2020 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia upon the 72nd anniversary of his arrival in Canada with his parents, Rev. David Mawhinney (1906-1992) and Edith McCullough (1914-2005). They settled in Rose Bay, Lunenburg County which became their home for the next three years.

Laurence spent his growing up years with his family serving Presbyterian Church congregations including: Athelstan, QC; Tyne Valley, PEI; and North Sydney, NS where he graduated from Thompson High School in 1957. During the next three years he began preaching as a supply minister in the Pictou Presbytery while working at Hamilton’s Biscuits in Pictou, NS. He enrolled at Sir George Williams University in Montreal graduating with a BA in 1964, and completed his BDiv (1966) and MDiv (1983) at Presbyterian College. His summer mission fields included congregations in Ganton, AB and Mille Isle, QC. His theological placement as a student assistant was at Knox Crescent Kensington Presbyterian Church in NDG with Rev. Dr. Clifton J. MacKay. Following ordination, Laurence was appointed minister of the Cape Breton Presbyterian pastoral charge that included: Orangedale, Lake Ainslie, River Denys, Malagawatch, and Strathlorne. Subsequently, he moved to St. Andrew’s, Pictou in 1967.

Laurence’s lifelong interest in politics led him to run provincially in October of 1970. He was unsuccessful, so went to work with the Province of Nova Scotia as an Executive Assistant to the Minister of Trade and Industry. Another unsuccessful run at federal politics in October of 1972 led him to get involved with a Halifax based shipping firm, F.C. Warren. He also continued his pastoral work in Dartmouth offering Sunday supply.

After accepting a call, Laurence was inducted into the pastoral charge of St. Andrew’s, Rose Bay and St. Andrew’s, Lunenburg on October 29, 1973. He served those churches until retirement on February 1, 2004. He returned to active ministry in 2012 serving the Lunenburg County Presbyterian Churches. In 1982, he began serving as the Interim Moderator / part-time minister of Knox, Dublin Shore and St. Matthew’s, West Dublin until ill health forced him to retire from active ministry in 2017.

Laurence served the wider Church in a variety of capacities: Moderator of the Presbytery of Halifax-Lunenburg on two occasions; Moderator of the Synod of the Atlantic Provinces (1991); Chair of a variety of committees and commissions; and supported the work of his wife, Marion, as the Camp Geddie Convenor. He was recognized for his work with the Church in 2013 when the Presbyterian College awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree. His long service with the Presbyterian Church in Canada concluded on September 1, 2020, with the completion of his role as the Interim Moderator for Kings Presbyterian Church in New Minas, NS. He continued to serve as the Chaplain for the Veterans’ Unit at the Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital in Lunenburg until his death.

While living in Lunenburg Laurence found great personal satisfaction in the political arena. He ran in a by-election and was elected to the Lunenburg Town Council in 1976. He chaired the 225th Anniversary Committee in 1978 and was elected Mayor the following year. He served the community he loved for 33 years before stepping down in 2012.

He took great pride in the achievements of those years, particularly, the first Canadian infrastructure program which linked the three orders of government together in a $6 billion program for all 4,000 Canadian municipalities. The new Lunenburg & District Fire Hall, wastewater treatment plant and water protection are all visible results of this funding. He served as the lead municipal government representative on the first ever “Team Canada” mission to China and Hong Kong in the fall of 1995. He believed that the UNESCO designation obtained by Lunenburg that same year would be key to many of the opportunities which followed.

Laurence was fortunate to represent the Town of Lunenburg on many occasions, including the British Royal Visit (1983), Norwegian Royal Visit (2002), and the visit of the spouses of the G-7 leaders (1999). His role took him to Ottawa on many occasions to speak to Parliamentary Committees and Cabinet Ministers about his favorite topic, the “Town of Lunenburg.” He also travelled to Guyana as part of the Team Nova Scotia initiative to support the Guyana Association of Municipalities to develop their democratic institutions; Washington, D.C. to speak about Canadian local government with international banking executives; and the Yukon on three occasions to address the roles and responsibilities of elected and appointed officials.

During his more than thirty-six years in municipal government, Laurence developed a passion for the processes and objectives of local government. He became active in the work of the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities, ultimately serving as president (1989-1990). He followed the same pattern with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities also serving as president (1994-1995). He was active with the Maritime Municipal & Development Board sponsored by the Council of Maritime Premiers as a board member and chair. In a similar vein, he was a presenter at the Nova Scotia Provincial Orientation for newly elected council members for sixteen years.

Laurence’s love of community led him to volunteer with a wide range of local organizations including: the School Board; Lunenburg Minor Hockey; Boy Scouts Group Committee; Lunenburg & District Music Festival; Bluenose Golf Club; Lunenburg Community College; Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital Board; Rotary Club; Lunenburg Waterfront Association Inc.; and Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance. He was an honorary member of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch #23).

Besides his parents, Laurence was predeceased by his daughters: Joan Elizabeth (1971), Patricia Lynn “Tish” (2001) and his granddaughter Rachel Ann (1991). He is survived by his wife of 55 years Marion (Mason); his children: David, Michael (Selena Martell), Alison (Ian Marshall), and Suzanne (Dan Rudolf); his grandchildren: Justin, Renee, Zachary, Lexie, AJ, Hanna and Paige; his sister, Dorothea and his niece and nephews: Helen, Wallace and Donald.

Laurence Mawhinney lived life to the full believing that we must squeeze out of it every ounce of energy and meaning. He was always supported by his much more private, yet deeply devoted and caring wife, Marion, and a strong family. In fact, he would say that whatever he had been able to achieve was only possible because of their love and support at home. They knew him as he really was and still loved him. “That was the greatest gift of all,” he wrote in a 2006 reflection on his life. “To be loved unconditionally and know that you are offered this great gift is an amazing feeling, it cannot be described in words. It just has to be accepted and I do so humbly, and with my deepest expression of gratitude to my wife, Marion, and all our children.” This same love was also extended by his chosen home in Lunenburg County. Its citizens welcomed, embraced and sustained him over the last 47 years.

“I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock.” (Matthew 7:24)

The family would like to express thanks to Laurence’s health care team: Dr. John Jenkins; Dr. Sudeep Shivakumar and the nurses in the VG Hospital; the VON; Dr. Ron Hatheway; Dr. Debra Gowan and Melanie Spence. Their care, support and assistance were very much appreciated.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a funeral service will not be held. A private family service will take place at a later date.

Donations to honour Laurence’s life may be made to South Shore Palliative Care, Presbyterians Sharing , Camp Geddie or to a charity of your choice, through the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, Lunenburg.

The public is invited to sign a book of remembrance for Laurence on Wednesday, September 23, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. and Thursday, September 24, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. at the Lunenburg Band Stand or at the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213 Hwy. # 3, Lunenburg.

Dear Marion and family. Ralph and I are deaply saddened by the news of Rev Mawhinney's passing. He was an inspiration to everyone we know who had had the priveledge of meeting him. His memory of peoples names was fanominal. He had met Ralph's business partner only once for a very short moment and then not again for several years, yet when he saw him he called him by name. They could not believe he could remember such detail.
Rev Mawhinney was the minister of my choice after having my first daughter. I was lost in my world, and came to church for comfort and forgiveness from god, and Rev Mawhinney's services made me more comfortable then I thought I even deserved at the time. When my daughter got a little older so that she could tottle about, he did not mind, and rather enjoyed, the interruption of her tottling self as she wondered her way up the isle to see who this giant of a man was talking. He always greeted her, and all the children, with a smile and a kind word. He never minded if a baby cried in church, or was having a laughing good time while he was giving his sermon, maybe it was his marvelous voice that rung throughout the church like the sweet sound of a harp, or maybe it was just the patience that he held in his heart for every child on this earth, but whatever it was I know it made for a calmer congregation because of it.
He baptized both of my children, and married me off.....twice! I was whitness to many, many weddings and just as many funerals, baptisms, etc. I have so many memories of this great man, like so many others, that it is going to be hard to realize that he is no longer here on this earth for a chat at a church luncheon, or a church tea. I hope by reading some of these condolences it brings a bit of comfort to you and your family that Rev Mawhinney was loved very much by many.
all our best,
Ralph and Valerie Davis

Dear Marion and Mawhinney Family

I extend my condolence to you all at this difficult time.

You do not know me, but I am an old friend who has watched Laurence's accomplishments since we met back in 1972. It was the time when Laurence ran in the federal election.

I want you to know we fondly recall our days together whenever we met. In recent years that included our connections through Lunenburg.

Simply put your husband and father was special and I just wanted to let you know there are many who feel the same as I do.

Take care during these difficult times.

Sincerely,

Tom (Tom Calkin, Falmouth/Kentville)

Marion, to you and your family my deepest sympathies. I was shocked and so saddened to read of Laurence’s death. He was always a joy to be around, so warm and welcoming. The last time I saw you both was at Oak Island where you were celebrating your birthday and he came right over to the table to chat. I think that that was three years ago. So often he preached at St. David’s Presbyterian church in Halifax when we were without a minister and it was always a pleasure to see and hear his thought provoking sermons or poignant references to friends who had deceased when he conducted so many funerals. Besides his busy life as a clergyman, he was able to combine his love of his community through all the years as mayor of Lunenburg, and all that that position demanded. How he did it all, I have never been able to understand. He never ceased to amaze me and I am sure you were a big part of his successful career(s). My loving thoughts are with you all. I am sure that while feeling a void, you are proud of who he was and what he did for so many. We are all his benefactors. Diane Palmeter

Sandy Hayden, It is with a sad heart that I am saying good-bye to a dear friend, minister and a wonderful, warm, caring man. Reverend Mawhinney helped me in so many ways through my time in Lunenburg. I will be so ever grateful. Especially, the last time I was walking in town and got the biggest, warmest hug that I will cherish forever.
To one and all in the Mawhinney family I send you my far away hugs.

I was lucky enough to be a newspaper reporter when Laurence (I was sassy enough to call him Larry!) was mayor of Lunenburg. I witnessed how deeply he cared about his town and its citizens. In fact, I saw how deeply he cared about so many people.
I was unaware Larry was ill and regret that I didn't have an opportunity to say goodbye.
I feel privileged to have known him. He was a wonderful, kind and powerful man.
