Thank you’s are also extended to Hospice Care 360 for Larry’s increasing care needs, and the moral support of Larry’s friends.  Another BIG thank you is sent to Larry and Sandy’s co-workers from Nestle, neighbors, Battelle Memorial Institute, and local friends who came to visit Larry to watch movies and patiently let him read every line of the Dispatch newspaper for the daily updates.
