My deepest condolences to Larry's wife and his family. I'm still shocked of his passing.It seems like I just saw him a couple weeks ago in Albany sitting at a table across from me laughing and doing what he does best his Union business . We always had stories to chuckle over especially me being above him in seniority and me always bumping him in the early days of his career at Amtrak I'll always remember his laugh and his ways of making me smile over this. He was a man of great character and I'm saddened as well as the rest of the members of our Union Local 86 of his passing. It was a pleasure to know You Larry.
