Larry, from the first day i met you it was fun, that was in 1987 when i got out of the Army. You and Kevin were doing sound at the brewhaus for CashArrow and my love of audio found a home in all that you knew and tought me. I wore the nick name of Dave the Slave with honor! It was never work, i always learned and we all had fun. No ones system ever sounded as good as yours and Kevins. Opening up my audio world to Pro audio was so damn exciting, and of course introducing me to Elliott!!! I will miss all our crazy audio idea's and your friendly smile and friendship. Now get going, you probably got a show tonight, hopefully its Buddy Holly or Jimmy Hendrix..... Show them how its done pal, love you Larry!!!!!!

Larry, I will never forget you and the positive impact you had on my life....Forever keeping me smiling and laughing with some of the deepest belly laughs I ever had….Our boating days were some of the best days of my life, and of course buying your Boat from you when you wanted out was one of my happiest days, and yours!!!….Our days at PLS were never considered going to work, as long as we were together….Not many had as much fun pulling 18hr days and just kept on smiling!!...I owe you so much, you have no idea how much I will miss you!!... So, so many fond memories I will never forget….We will meet again, I'm sure of it, so get a place ready for me for when I get there….Love you Larry, You FB!!!... Rest in Peace my friend….Rest in Peace….
