A Crystal Lake man who became a fourth generation sailor when he joined the U.S. Navy in 2011 was among those killed in the shooting rampage at a Colorado movie theater. John Larimer, a Petty Officer 3rd Class, is one of 12 who have died in the massacre at a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colo. A 2003 graduate of Crystal Lake South High School, Larimer was remembered Saturday by a former classmate as someone who "could light up a room." He was always a funny, quirky guy,' Brittney Venetucci, 26, of Hampshire , said.
