There is a lot to say about this man that I had known little about. He passed away when I was only 11 years old. His name was Larry Osorio, but it was originally Ladrigo. He changed it when he arrived in America to sound more American. In my mind, he was a true pioneer. He left his homeland, the Philippines at the age of 17 to explore the world. He met his wife, my grandmother in Brazil. Of all the things I have heard he accomplished, above all is a fond memory of the time he took me fishing. I had caught more than him. But he caught the Bigger ones. 🙂
