If you are spending your time reading this, then you already qualify as a busy person who is willing to take the extra time to help someone and share your valuable time helping them. That describes Larry Crowder.

 Larry W. Crowder
1943-2010
Born on the 4th of July, Larry continued to explode with ambition throughout his adult life. His early years were spent with auto mechanics training and his first experience with competitive racing was helping his sons field a racecar for the local track. This led to his being involved with the Vermilion County Fair, eventually serving on the board as the racetrack overseer. This is about the time I personally came to admire the time and dedication he put into his volunteer work at the fair grounds. Over the years, Larry spent countless hours and days helping numerous track promoters prepare the tracks each week, whether it was grading or watering or manicuring the facilities. At Larry's funeral, I saw at least three different track promoters who came to pay their respect. Larry's presence was usually seen on race night guarding the fourth turn on the track infield. I saw the flagman who waves the green flag to start the race and he came to wave the checkered flag to finish the race. And the track photographer was there. And many people connected in some way to the Fair. We all realized the strong relationship of Larry and the fair grounds.
In no way is this intended to minimize the importance of Larry and his family ties of his life on earth. We all lost a friend.
