You can't think about Larry without a smile and a nod and a "That was just Larry" thought. He was smart, funny; he was loved and hated and endeared and infuriating and just Larry; and I will fondly look back and be thankful that I got to know the "real" Larry. My family will miss him.

My world's a lonelier place without Larry in it. I keep hearing him sing "Way Down Upon the Swanee River." I doubt if I'll ever hear anyone else sing it the way he did.
