Growing up Larry and I did a lot together.  We both worked with Dad in his business doing scrap iron and metals.  Both of us went with our parents when they held revivals and sang chorus  in many of the churches.  We both tried to organize a quartet, but due to the piano play having a heart attack it did not happen.  Larry did sing first tenner and I sang Baritone, and Larry had a great voice.  
    We were both involved in Church, I do remember Larry preaching for the first time at Muscoy Community Church.  It did not last long, like most of us on our first try.  Larry was also in the church choir there as well as myself.
    Both of us were into sports, Larry wanted to be a picture, so I was his catcher.  He got where he could hit his spots and might have fulfilled his dream of pitching in the majors if he kept it up.   He did try football but did not have the size to compete.  He played on the church fast pitch softball team, and the basketball team mostly passing the ball to Wayne Morgan.    
      After Larry joined the army I did not see him to much except when he was state side.  He did come to my house a couple of times and spent the night with us in Texas.  We did keep in contact, I still have some of his letters while in Viet Nam  and Korea.  So you will be missed big brother.  I heard you starting going back to church and serving the Lord, so I say Praise the Lord.  I know you are with The Lord and one day will see you again
Your Brother Mike
Dad, I miss you very much. I wish we could have spent more time together knowing how soon you would have been taken away from us. I know you are in a better place now. I hope that you will still reach out from time to time. Watch over all of us. Until we can meet again. I love you!
I was always told the story (from my brother and my parents) how Larry walked up to my mom and told her he wanted a baby sister he could call his own and my mom (she already had 8 kids) told him why don't you put your prayers up against mine and we'll see who wins (since I'm here you can probably guess). Then the disagreements on how I got my first name. Larry said it was after his favorite bird, our grandpa swore it was after him and my mom swore it was part of the lyrics to a song playing on the red car her and my dad rode on during their first date. I honestly like them all. Through the years my brother confided in me, near the end I was glad he felt comfortable telling me some of his Vietnam experiences (although mostly because I was so young and he thought I'd forget. I still remember the day he left for California when we lived in Oklahoma going into the military and mom crying. He told me not to worry I'd see him again. I remember when the solider came to the door when we moved back to California to tell mom he died in Vietnam, but it wasn't him but another Magee). I remember him holding my hand in the hospital telling the doctors and nurses I was his daughter, I don't mind that he thought I was one of his kids near the end (they're all pretty amazing). Growing up Larry always made sure that me and Pebbles got to go to Magic Mountain with them when he was between transfers. He would help with repairs when he was around. He enjoyed hauling scrap metal with dad. Always complimented mom on her cooking. He had a big heart. He'd stop and stay the night when he was passing through. He called me on my birthday to tell me he rededicated his life to Christ. So much more. I miss him, but I know I'll see him again.

My big brother and my hero! Vietnam vet, and huge encourager especially in times that it felt that my world was falling apart.
May he fly high with the angels with total honor that he deserves.
The memory I will always have of my brother in-law is his sweet warm smile. I think he had my mother inlaws’ smile . I do remember the last time he was in New Mexico for a visit he asked for green chili enchiladas I made two kinds beef and chicken. We will forever miss his calls to my husband. He was a good big brother...I was blessed to know him. I know I will see him again in Heaven for that I am grateful.
