Sue – please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of Mr. Pandolfo. Thank you for entrusting Simply Cremation to care for his final arrangements.
Larry was one year ahead of me in school. His brother Fred was my classmate and we hung out together. Larry’’s dad owned a bakery and provided refreshments for the Filipino field workers. Fred and I worked the fields as teen Agee’s! Once Sax (the Dad) drove to Reno in his 1952 Chevy) tossed the keys to Fred and said “ see you two in a couple of day!” He bought a Beauiful orange 1956 Chevrolet which his sons used to transport them to their Varsity football games! I then drove the Dad to the games since I had to be there with the marching band. Great times!
