:: IN MEMORIAM::

**********************

On November 28th, 2009 we lost "our" Larry. Larry Kurpiewski and his GSD Nigel signed up for training at Precision K-9 several years ago. I had no idea who Larry was. Over the years I got to know him and Barb and found out just how wonderful they are. My heart broke for Barb and all of Larry's family. Larry was a one in a million kind of man. The type of man we need more of in this world. He and Nigel had recently certified with NAPWDA in SAR Area search and I know just how proud he was of Nigel. They had come so, so, so far together. I loved referring to them as "A boy and his dog." :) I can only strive to be as good as a person as Larry was. God Speed Larry!! You'll always be missed and never be forgotten.

August 22nd, 2007 we lost a huge asset to our local community for both the humans and their pets: Dr. Paul McWilliams, DVM of Orchard Animal Clinic. It's very hard to loose such a great person and great veterinarian. I attended his service which was absolutely beautiful! Paul will be greatly missed. Godspeed Paul and God Bless Paul's widow, Saundra McWilliams-- her strength is inspiring!
