Not sure what to say?

I worked with Larry at Fred S James quite awile ago and he always graded my letters to his clients. It was so funny as he would make silly faces on my letters. I totally enjoyed his sense of humor and I think he would have been a good President of Fred. S James but we know how that goes. I miss you Larry. Rose Emerson

Larry enjoyed the University Club's piano bars and the weekly bridge game. He was charming, funny, and kind. I will miss him. My sympathies go out to Linda and all his family.

Much love to you Linda as you deal with this loss. I fondly remember our sailing in the BVI and several MIT reunions. Lissa and Alfredo

Larry was my classmate and fraternity brother in Phi Gamma Delta at MIT. Larry anchored our intramural football team and led sessions of wry banter in gatherings of friends. Sailing with him in the Virgin Islands leaves joyous memories for a lifetime. My condolences go to Linda and Larry's family at this sad time.

So many fond memories of Larry so sad he has left us. He was a great friend and mentor to me and I will miss him dearly

Wish we had known Larry better personally and professionally, but so honored to have him and Linda on Tour de Steve!

We were dismayed to read the announcement of Larry's passing. Even more sad was the realization that we'd been unaware of his illness. Our heartfelt sympathy to all of you family members who suffered with him. I'm sorry that there will be no service where Larry's charming and robust personality could be celebrated by those of us who thought he had been a fine person to know.
