Larry LaPrise
3/31/01
I don't usually pass on news like this unless I have to, but sometimes we need to pause and remember what life is about. There was a great loss recently in the entertainment world. Larry LaPrise, the Detroit native who wrote the song Hokey Pokey, died last week at 83.
The most traumatic part for the family was getting him in the coffin.
They put his left leg in...and things just started to go downhill from there...
