John McCain's best friend Chuck Larson had 'reserved' adjacent graves for them at cemetery
Larson and McCain were known as the 'odd couple' at the US Naval Academy, with Larson being a well-behaved, straight-A student and McCain performing rather poorly
On Sunday, Senator John McCain was laid to rest at his alma mater the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. While it has been reported that the Republican senator was laid to rest beside his best friend, not many know about his long and endearing relationship with Chuck Larson.
According to a memoir, Chuck Larson, who was an admiral himself and McCain's ally throughout his life, had allegedly reserved four plots at the cemetery years ago — two for McCain and himself, and two for their wives. He was McCain's lifelong friend, and the late senator wanted to be buried right next to him, "near where it began".
