Larry D Greenawalt! My Friend, Co Warker, Life Coach! where do I start, I started working for Marathon in 1997 towards the End of Larrys Career, I was 22 and Larry took me under his wing and taught me how to be a professional, how to carry yourself, and taught me life is about planning and providing! He taught me how to Save and invest and plan for life!!! That has served me well the last 25 yrs. but more important he showed me how to be a Family Man, and a just be a good person! I absolutely Loved making Larry Laugh! his laugh was amazing! Larry Retired from Marathon and I moved to Houston TX and I had kids and grew up and old...Etc, and we've stayed in touch some, but Larry will always have a special place in my Heart! God Bless you Larry! and trust me the World could use a lot more LD Greenawalts! I hope at some point I get to make you belly laugh again Larry! Your Friend - Michael Slone
