Col. Larry Papini Jr.

A Hometown Hero from Roscoe in the local paper today:

U.S. Army Col. Larry Papini of Roscoe had been serving at the Army War College in Carlisle before being deployed to Albania and then to Qatar.

A 1974 graduate of California High School and 1978 graduate of The Citadel, he is the son of Jessie Lou and Larry Papini of Roscoe.

He and his wife, the former Marsha Fayish of California, Pa., have a son Larry, 7, and daughter Gabriella, 4.

He has two siblings also serving in the military, Master Sgt. Jay Papini and Air Force Maj. Jennifer Papini.

Larry and I grew up together; he was a year ahead of me in school. We are third cousins. His parents' house faces mine, one block over. In fact, I live in the house his mother grew up in. His father was my 10th-grade algebra teacher.
