I worked with Larry Lieberfeld at Peter Copelands Office, 1948-50, and it was a pleasure knowing him and benefiting from his
enormous stature as an architect and person. I have thought
of Larry Lieberfeld often over the years.

Larry was a remarkable individual - smart, curious, lively, active for as long as his health allowed, and devoted to his family and his wife. May all who knew him find comfort and keep his legacy alive in these memories of him.
