I saw Larry several years ago in Boca Raton while Jerry Steinberg was visiting. I knew of his prolonged illness and he seemed to be coping at that time. Other than that time, I saw Larry at a Seneca Reunion and he was ill then.
I'm so sad to hear another dear friend is gone. I'm of the same age and our time on this earth is getting more and more limited. We should cherish our family in friends while we are still able.
My condolences to Ellen and family.
With Love and Friendship KEN (tucky) Silverstein, Hollywood, Florida
