    Dear Powers family, First, let me extend my sincerest condolences to each member of your family. Secondly, I’d like to introduce myself to you. I am Larry’s first cousin. (I knew him as Pee Wee, I don’t know why?!) My father, Rip Powers and Scotty Powers were brothers. Age difference, big family, or I don’t know why, but we probably only met once or twice. I think the last time I saw him, was at my brother Stephen’s funeral in 1997. Regardless, I wanted to send my sympathies to all of you.
