I was sorry to learn of Larry's passing. He always made me laugh. I have missed working with him and he would call every now and then just to let us know how he was. I am so sorry I was not able to attend the memorial as my son was hospitalized. I will miss Larry and my thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. He will always be remembered
