Take it easy, brother!!
At one time, I think he had his own bar stool at the Pearl City Monkey Bar and several at the Camp Smith NCO Club. Larry is one hell of a guy. There are very few, if any, with his skill and exlertise.
Well the good thing is the King of Karaoke will keep on singing. Don't think he is the King? Well he once traveled from Hawaii to Charleston (I believe) for a Cryptologic Submarine Reunion, and carried his Karaoke Machine with him. Hard core to the Max. Congrats Larry and enjoy your retirement. Penny and I will look you up in the August timeframe if we can still travel then.

I met him in 1981 when I was an AW. He helped me become a CTT after I was grounded from flying. He intervened with the AW detailer who wanted me to become an OT, boring as hell. Congrats Larry.
'Larry will never retire, only change emphasis! Few earn the adjective Legend. Larry does!
Too bad the Mayoral election was November, best candidate now available!!!
Larry V. I owe every hangover I have ever had in Hawaii to you! Glad to see you get out alive, your recent heart attacks had us all a bit worried. The legend moves on, leaving an amazing legacy!
You were one of the few that was truly loved by all - Fair Winds!!!
So there are NOT MANY in the career field that earn the moniker "NATIONAL TREASURE", but this one sure does! Larry, best of luck in your future endeavors. I look back on that part of my career where we worked closely together and have many fond memories. Fair Winds and Following Seas, my friend. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
No words can describe the professionalism of this man. He was and is mainstay of cryptologic history. Congratulations Master Chief. CTTCM (Ret) Pete Murphy
