Larry hired me at The Oregonian in 1988. He was always congenial and fair minded. He had an easy manner that left one feeling appreciated. Thanks Larry for all the years at The O.

So sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. I worked for him in Ad Services for seven years, and in my opinion Larry was the best kind of boss. He was a straight shooter; he had just a few rules, he let you know what they were, and then left you to do your job. He was always fair. As time went on, I got to see his keen sense of humor, his intelligence, and found that deep down he was a bit of a softie. Such a good and kind man. RIP sweet Larry!
