Donna and Matt,
I am deeply saddened by your loss. I will always cherish the memories that I had with Larry. In his own way, somehow he was always able to turn bad days into some of the best. It was a privilage to know him and an honor to be considered his friend. He will always be missed.
Lois Huffman says
Hi Matt. I will always remember July 8th 1982 at the Italian Gradens. I waited on you and your Dad. I said that tomorrow was my birthday and I wished that I did not have to work. He showed up with flowers on July 9th. What a surprise. There is more to the story. But let us move on. I remember you and your Dad .We go back a long way. There are so many fun times. We can talk on Thursday. I know that he would not want me to be sad. I am trying hard to think of happy thoughts. He was very special to me. Everyone will always remember his humor. He always told everyone at the Marriott that he was a Gynecologist. I do not think that anyone believed him. I will truly miss him. Peace , love and happiness. Love ya, Lois

Bradley Herman says
I’ll never forget the sense of humor and wit Larry had. He and my grandfather were like carbon copies of eachother and could always make me laugh. I always looked up to Larry as a sort of surrogate grandfather and even though I hadn’t seen him in a while, the news of his death brought tears to my eyes. I’ll never forget some of the stories they used to tell together and I hope someday to be able to bring a smile to peoples faces the way they were always able to. I know he and pap are back together now, cracking dirty jokes and making trouble. He will really be missed.
Alison Sharp says

Tim Grant says
I’m sure Larry is in a better place now. I’ll miss his random calls just to talk, reminis about working together, and talk computers. He was a dear friend and will be greatly missed.
Greg Conrad says
