Larry Coote

Don't know where exactly to post this but  I heard today that Larry passed away last week. I visited him about 3 weeks ago knowing he was dying of cancer. His spirits were good and he seemed to have a total acceptance of the situation. He was one of the truly nice people you would ever want to meet. He was 59.

Ken.   Sad to hear someone still young passing away. Was he related to Brian?   Ken Petit, ex of Crawford Park passed away a few weeks ago from brain cancer at the age of 55.

Incidentallly GlennP,.have you or your friend made any further headway in his quest to find a link to his Mom...??

Les.   Yes indeed, these are scary stats, but unfortunately common as we get a bit longer in the teeth. In fact, another ex-Crawford guy the same age as Ken is very ill at this time, and terminal with cancer of the throat and I understand it is just a matter of time for him as well.   Thanks for asking about my bud and his search for his birth parents. At this point, he has yet to find the information he is seeking, but things seem to be inching forward. He has hired a PI who seems to have some contacts that are helping him. I am sure once McGee learns something definitively he will post a message here at VC. I know that he has been extremely thankful for all the help members here have offered to him and the concern shown him in this search.   Glen

Unfortunately, Glen is right. No meaningful progress to report. Several members of this group have been very supportive and to all, I say thank you.Believe me, I promise that if I hear anything, Verdun Connections will be one of the first to know. Thanks again for your help and support.

Hi Doug, I'm just curious if they're still around. I don't even know if they'd remember me, but you can say Hi from Wendy, a friend of Linda Bullard. She used to date Dave in High School.
