My sincere condolences to Larry's family, especially to Linda(Frank) and Rita whom I knew fondly from "Symposium". I knew your father from Tom Young's and Define Fitness Gyms. He had a lot of friends and he always met everyone with a kind smile and a "Hi Guy". He and I would talk politics especially about the old politicos from days past. Blessing on all your families.

My sincere condolences to Larry's family. Especially to Linda and Rita whom I remember fondly from "Symposium". Your father was a very fine man who I met at Tom Young's and Define Fitness gyms. Everyone like him because he was always happy and greeted all those he new with a smile and a "Hi Guy" how are you. We always talked a little politics and remembered some of the old politicos. God bless all your families.
