I’ve known Larry Mullaly for over 20 years. He flew the Stearman, B-25, PBY and the Schlep at Planes of Fame East. He was also heavily involved with the restoration of the MN Wing’s Miss Mitchell as well as conducting B-25 Ground School for many years. Larry was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) several years ago and has been fighting the good fight since then. Larry is now at the VA in hospice care, but yesterday he returned to his home town to share memories with many of the people he touched over the years. Here is a story one of the local news stations did on the event. I thought I would share it here so the people that knew him here could see the story. A big Thank You to the MN Wing for bringing Miss Mitchell down to say good bye to Larry.

Thanks for that post. Best wishes to Mr. Mullaly and his family.

Thank you for the story. I flew with him back in the days when he was giving PPE's to the Yellow Rose Drivers. So sad, I'll keep him in my prayers...

I have known Larry since 1986 at pof east. he was he best B-25 pilot I ever knew. I have many hours with him in different A/C. I think the funiest is when he would pilot the scheleppt that Bob Pond owned. I was supposed to get with the boys to ride the bikes down to the event but could not make it. Larry you are the BEST.
