"I met Larry first at the Boone Society Luncheon of Southern California held at Knotts Berry Farm. He went to school and graduated from BHS along with my oldest brother (also named Larry). Soon after finding he shared of love of trains. I asked him to come by the Fairplex Garden Railroad in Pomona which sparked him to want to build a garden railroad in his backyard. So I helped him get it going and frequently helped with the railroads maintenance and upgrades. We attended many model train celebrations over the years and helped him pick out products at the train shops. Perhaps he will have a garden railroad up in heaven too. I will miss sharing railroad times with him and Reva. My condolences to all."
In loving memory of
Larry Jay Moore
