You were a good man Larry O! We did a lot of deals over the years, but my best memory is of you riding into the Seal Beach parking lot on your Harley and reving it up to set off the car alarms from the vibrations. I hope that I get to see you on the other side, if I can make the good cut as I am sure you did!

When I think of Larry, integrity, honesty, candor and forthrightness come to mind. He was someone I could always count on. He was a great friend and co-worker and I will miss him.

Larry, I just wish you had been blessed to have been born Irish because we've all got probably a hundred stories that could keep your wake going for a week. I'll miss your presence, even if we hadn't seen each other in years, and I'll see you on the other side (after I spend half of eternity in Purgatory).

My thoughts and prayers are with you and may God hold you in the palm of his hands.
