I knew Larry for over 20 years. I worked at the same place he did he was a very gifted person artist and musician, watched most of his downtown Ocala music sessions and an all-around fantastic person you will be greatly missed. I always watched most all of his videos that he ever posted clear up to the last one. What a big loss for anyone.RIP Larry

I am saddened to hear about the news of Larry's passing. I was a guest on the Veteran´s News Hour many times and he and I would spend a lot of time discussing the way Veterans were being mistreated by the VA. He loved our Vets!
