I was saddened to learn of Larry's death. We went to college together and, while not friends, we were friendly.

Larry was a faithful attendee of our class reunions and my favorite memory is from our 20th when we ran into each other very, very late at night on the second floor in Main. I can still see his smile as we talked about what a great weekend it was.

Larry was so happy and that's a lovely memory to have of him.

Lars:
I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing. You was a wonderful person with a huge heart. You will be in my heart and soul forever. I miss you. Even though you called me Angel you are now up there with the Angels.

I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing this week. I remember the days, working together at Sotheby's New York - you sat in the cubicle directly across from me. Our trips to London and the rest of Europe intalling Sotheby's Auction Reporting computer system. Rest in Peace my friend!

Jon,
I am saddened to hear of the death of your brother. Memories of you and Larry come to mind of all the times that we enjoyed together at the Cutler's house in Hamilton, with Barb and Nathan in California and with your family at the farm. Larry always had a smile for everyone. May the light of his love burn brightly in your heart. Peace to you.

Larry,

I am so blessed to have known you!
I have fond memories of time spent discussing the universe over cocktails in your Beacon Hill home.

Larry, this is how I want to remember you: It's a hot summer night in the shed at the farm. All your friends are there, including your new girlfriend. You are holding court and John is mumbling about his brother the only child. You are playing your bass. We are all drinking Rolling Rocks and the ashtrays are full. You are telling us about your newest car or another new toy you have because whoever has the most toys wins. We laugh until the sun comes up. That's how I want to remember you. Love, Cassie
