Lawrence Stlaske

Lawrence Stlaske


I have several funny stories in which Larry (aka Hawk, aka “The Jaw”) is the hero in a Jim Rockford sort of way.  The problem with those is that none of them reflect his true character.  I will therefore share a non-humorous story.  As many of you know, Larry liked to party.  He was good at it.  I mean he was REALLY good at it.  I never knew Larry to leave a party (unless it was to go to another party) until the second to last person had left.  So, imagine my surprise when Larry came up to me just before 10:00 at the 40th reunion and said he was leaving.  In a minor state of shock, I asked if he was ok. He told me he was fine but it was time for his dog to get its medicine.  Larry was a good man.
