Not sure what to say?

You are still missed, dear Larry. I miss your jokes and your constant optimism. Rest In Peace (until we meet again, that is...).

Death is nothing at all. It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.

Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

My Dear friend from Cisco to this day. We had so many good talks and discussions about almost anyhing. I was waiting for the red carpet, Larry! Rest in peace my beautiful kind hearted, strong friend. I will miss you terribly. Keep dancing on the other side!

You will be missed, Larry. I know you are at peace.

Larry was a very popular teacher when we taught Portuguese together at the American Graduate School of International Management, better known as Thunderbird. I keep many happy memories of parties at his house and other activities. My condolences to his family and friends. Saudades, meu amigo ♥

We miss you, Larry.
You will always be in our hearts.
