I think of Larry every day that I wear my hat with the Navy Logo.
Quite a guy!

I met Larry in his running days in 1979, 5 years before his 1st L.A. Olympic Director Position.We ran many weekends training for numerous 10k's, Bay to Breakers and the Jordashe Marathon in 1981. His PR was 3hrs. 10 Min. During those years we laughed, talked and bonded like runners do fighting and enjoying the runner's high in the day's of Bill Rogers both of our hero's. He is sorely missed but I am and so was my family; happy to get that opportunity to just have my time with Larry.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

We spent hours of special time with Larry at the golf course, at dinner or just over a glass of wine. We enjoyed his company very much. Sending our thoughts and love to his family.

Larry was a great shipmate and friend. We shared our Brooklyn Italian-American roots and would silently share the fond memories of those beginnings over the years. He was a very charismatic and likable guy and he influenced my life as he had many others.
He will be missed.
