Dear Aime,  I was so saddened to learn of your Dad's passing. I was trying to find him and reconnect when I found his obituary a few months ago. I was heartbroken.   He was my first childhood playmate.   I was always at my grandparent's house across the street from where he lived  on Eucalyptus.  My grandfather had built a playhouse  there  many years before when my mother was a girl and where,  many years later, I was always playing.  Your Dad would cross the street and come over and visit me at the playhouse.  I was about 5yrs old and he was about 11.  He was so  sweet and kind and soft spoken. One time he brought his horse over for me to take a quick ride.  I had no idea how to ride but I wanted to try.  So he helped me up on to the horse (can't remember its name) and I slowly walked the horse to the back yard where  it headed right under a tree branch and brushed me off.    I walked back to where your Dad was waiting for me and I told him I fell off.  He had to go get the horse that was waiting under the tree.  That was the end of my horseback riding till I was older and could rent horses at the stables.  I have a picture of him and I together there at my grandparent's house that I would like to send to you.  It was taken about 1950.  Please email me your address and I will send the picture.  

Again, I am so sorry I never got a chance to see him again before he passed away.   That is a great loss.  God bless you.

Sincerely,
Dixie Ward Hustead

Larry was an awesome man. He was my dads (Tony Ortiz) best friend. I have fond memories camping on his land in Calente  Never did get to go into those two mines though. Our fireplace is built from that orange agate we all collected about 35 years ago. Whatever happens to Scott? We used to play army men in the dirt together. I miss that place. Would love to camp there one last time.

My Dad was my hero I was always his baby always will be I got to spend his last day on earth with him and i will forever be greatful to god for that. Im going to miss you deeply Dad Love you always and our memories will be alive forever

Larry was a great man I always looked up to growing up. He'll be missed and always remembered.
