Larry gave me my first job. He was a kind and caring boss he treated me more like son than an employee. I treasure.all the time I was able to work for Larry. I worked at the grain elevator in Maplewood for 13 years with Larry. I know the family well Scott was a year ahead me in school. It was hard to leave the elevator business but Larry understood that´s how much cared. We sent Christmas card and had phone conversations over the years I´m going to miss that time very much. My love and hugs go out to the family especially Phyllis . May Gods Peace be with you love you all Fred Pulfer.
