Not sure what to say?

We met Larry and Sarah in Asheville, Christmas of 2011. What a truly unexpected pleasure! We had some of the most dynamic discussions; certainly not always in agreement, but always thought-provoking and fun-filled. His business concepts were “Regendaly” [ask Sarah :-)]. We were pretty certain he was going to sell the B&B for the owner over Christmas breakfast!

When we moved to West Palm Beach a few months later, we picked up right where we left off. Larry was a creative force of...

Larry was our friend for over 50 years.
We will miss his wisdom,,humor and love of life.

Larry will be missed at Indian Springs but we'll keep him in our memories.

I just came acroos this and am so sorry to hear about Larry. While I was at the Armory, Larry and I talked often and he spent a good deal of time in my office discussing marketing. We had many greatd discussions and lots of laughs. He will be missed.

Larry was a formidable force. He touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He was a good friend but for too short a time.

The things I remember most fondly about Larry are his vitality and his helpfulness. You always knew where Larry was in a room: he had a loud voice, a loud laugh, and lots to say about everything. The great thing about being with an outspoken person is that you never have to worry about what they're really thinking: they tell you, in no uncertain terms. Larry had the energy and drive to accomplish things, and this made him helpful to others. He was something of a kingmaker in local politics...

One of a kind. He'd automatically wind up chairing the commission, organizing the event, or just telling you how to drink, not only your martini, but your coffee too. An immutable center of many human orbits. My distress is tempered by the solid expectation that, one way or another, we'll hear from Larry again.

I had the honor of teaching sculpture to Larry at the Armory Art Center. It was obvious that Larry enjoyed expressing himself through his work and and we had many long conversations about sculpture and life in general. Larry became a father figure to me, always ready with his wise advise and ecouragement in my own work. I was lucky to have spent time with such a wonderful spirit, I will miss him!!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Larry as a fellow Armory Art Center board member. Larry was always full of light, wit and good cheer. I will miss his company and our long conversations. My deepest sympathy to all of Larry's family and dear friends. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
