I first met Loren in 1978 working at the K-Mart that used to be at 21st and Oliver. I always enjoyed his dry sense of humor and razor sharp insights on life.
I learned a LOT from him at a very impressionable age.
I’m sorry that I’m just now seeing that he passed. The least I could’ve done was attend his funeral mass – if I’d known.
Rest in peace, my friend. And thanks for the great convos we had when I was a much younger man.
I just saw this. I had no idea Hucky had passed. I knew him from WSUPD, rode with him a lot, shared a lot of beers. He set me on my career path as an LEO. Go with God, Huck.
