Not sure what to say?

Larry I hope you are entertaining the heavens with your great stories and wisdoms. The Spot has never been the same. Eternal Life!

I loved Larry!

Whenever I was restless and decided I wanted company, I would head for La V, Alfonso's, or The Spot to find Larry. He was always warm and welcoming; made me feel that he was glad I came.

On those occasions when it was just the two of us, he would weave his stories, describing some place or person he had observed. Observed as only Larry could. I begged him to put these stories to paper because I believe he rivaled such pieces as O Henry's short stories, or...

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

Larry; we miss you! I will never forget the one and only dance you and I shared to the music of Show & Tell at Putnam's on New Year's eve long ago. You were such a gentleman and an old and wise soul! I truly miss seeing you but look forward to a "wiedersehen"!

I'll remember Larry's dry sense of humor and sharp wit. I'll miss seeing him at the Spot during the week and La V on the weekends. Cheers, Jennifer Laurie

Larry was one of the first people we met when we moved to La Jolla 7 years ago. Each time we hung out at the spot or the whaling bar we had more in depth conversations about anything and everything. What a wealth of knowledge & interest. We are better people for knowing him and although he will be missed, he will never be forgotten. Thanks Larry for your service to our country & for taking the time to get to know us. See you on the other side.

I'll miss seeing you at the Spot when I come in and your dry wit and smile, friendly handshake, with a beer in free hand.

I never heard Larry utter a bad word about anyone, one of the most likable people I have ever know. He will be missed by all that knew him. One great guy
