My deepest condolences to the family, may you find comfort and strength from the God of all comfort in this difficult time (Isiah 26:19)

Writing in behalf of my father Norman Rosenfield.
Dad in offering his condolences related this story:
Growing up in Chelsea, Larry's mother wouldn't let Larry go to the football games alone. She said: "You can go if Norman takes you!" Dad is 95 and was deeply saddened to read of Larry passing, in NS Jewish Journal. Their houses backed up to each other as children.
