Larry in Portland, Oregon December 2011

I only met Larry once, but I heard lots and lots about him, enough to feel as if he was an old friend. Deepest sympathy and love to Babs.

Sweet classmate, sweet man, loved by everyone.
My condolences and prayers for Barb and all the family.

I am deeply saddened for the loss of Larry whom I only met on 3 occasions, briefly in a large room filled with people. That doesn't at all negate the bright brilliant light of unconditional love that knocked even me, between the eyes upon introductions. An inspiration indeed. Not many if any, just by being on the planet, can inspire from across a room. That is a true gift from God to all of us, to use as a profound beacon. Thank you Babs, for ALWAYS nurturing Larry and being very clear about...

I am deeply saddened to hear about Larry's passing. It was awhile ago but my sister and I grew up down the street (Arabian Dr) and and had many good memories of Larry. He is such a warm soul, always making others happy. We always loved going up the hill to hangout with his son Michael, and Larry would always make us feel right at home.

Good people forever live in others hearts. As I know he will.

Sending much love and positive vibes to all the family and friends during...

You were always a good friend to me and will remember our days in high school. RIP brother. You will be missed.

I knew Larry for the past 12 years through Babs, my Pilates trainer. He was a fun, positive guy and we had many detailed discussions about sports and coming of age in the 60s. He was crazy about Babs and truly adored her. He was incredibly strong, as evidenced by his 10 year battle against an insidious disease. He lives on through his family and his work. Taken too soon, he is sorely missed.

I was fortunate to meet Larry thru his wife Babs. I have known Babs for over forty years. I can only say that Larry was some kind of a Great Man to marry Babs I say this as a compliment to Larry because for any man to marry Babs he had to be a very special kind of a man. Not only is Babs a very special and unique Lady, she knew exactly what kinda of man Larry was to have her hand. I attended their wedding and knew right away how special Larry was.
As the bible says the streets of...

What a great guy!
He always had that wonderful smile on his face, while even going through the toughest battle of his life.
You will be sorely missed Larry.
Your 1972 classmates will always have you in their hearts. ❤
Celebrate your healing with God in the Heavens!
