To Larry Betz family, I have many fond memories of working with Larry at B F Goodrich. He liked his work and the people he worked with. After working with the same people, you become like family. He liked his work so well that he was not ready to retire. May God bless and comfort you in this time of sorrow. Allan Volkert
