We are diminished...A great shot, a true gentleman and a modest hero.

I am raising a pint and thinking I was chaired off the range on the same chair he was.

I last shared a beer with Larry 5 years ago. He was still working out, just finished scuba diving, flying a P51 trainer over Panama City at age 87. And of coarse he was writting another book. At his viewing yesterday was his medals, and his Bisley awards with 5 Bisley Team badges. I thanked him for assisting me over the years, then said my final good bye. RIP Larry.

He was the man who taught me how to Really Shoot a Rifle
( C3 Sniper 7.62 mm) in the Militia in 1978/79
I believe he was a Warrant Officer in the Lorne Scots at the time
ex British Army Sniper
A Great Rifleman
I met him several times after the course
have some of his books on shooting
God Bless Him
Hope there is a nice rifle range up there for him
