From Phil Chung:  I can see Larry and Liz golfing now as a two-some on the fairways heaven.  God bless their eternal souls and memory for how they enriched the lives of many around them with the golf club. Larry, along with Liz, combined their love of golf to share it with Hawaiian style camaraderie, with their friends and acquaintances by starting the Rainbow Golf Club.  As his passing was on Tuesday, there is no information right now about a service or memorial, but I'll pass on the information to you all when I hear it. **** SEE BELOW

Larry and Julie's home address if you would like to send a card is:

9451 Coronet Ave, Westminster CA 92683-6516
