Lawras "Larry" Richgels

The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, Lawras Richgels. We are thankful for his military service and proud to have served him on his trip to Washington, D.C. on October 2, 2010.

I am sorry for you loss. I always remember going and sleeping over at your house. It was so fun for a country girl to spend time in the big city. I have a lap quilt that my mother made from his salesmen samples always brings back memories.

Larry was like an extra uncle to us. Our families grew up together and we saw them as often as we saw our cousins. Carol and mom were best friends and Carol and Larry were our younger brother's God parents. Just last week I was thinking about him and wondering if he was still alive. Beverly, Joellyn. Ginny and Rosie I am very sorry for your loss. Pat Back Stoltz

Your family has my sympathy for your loss. Lawras was a childhood friend of my dad. He and Carol remained life-long friends of my parents, Wilbur and Eileen Walker of Mazomanie. My parents remembered fondly of their trip out west together. Following the deaths of both Carol and Wilbur, Eileen continued to appreciate the friendship and visits Lawras made to Mazomanie. It makes me smile to think of the laughter and stories the four of them are now sharing in heaven. Monica Walker
