Doris and girls- Not a day goes by that I don't think of Larry and some of our life experiences. Larry was able to get me to understand HS math even after several teachers had tried and failed for years to no avail. Larry, Pat P, Mark and my cousin Anthony seemed to take me under their wings and get me thru my preteen and teen years.

TO DORIS AND GIRLS: SO VERY SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS. EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T SEEN LARRY MUCH LATELY, I REMEMBER WELL OUR CHILDHOOD AND THE FUN ALL THE COUSINS HAD. HIS LIFE WAS TO BRIEF BUT HE LEFT A WONDERFUL LEGACY BY DONATING HIS ORGANS. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND HELP YOU THROUGH THIS TERRIBLE TIME.

Larry, Anthony Ambrogio, Mark Ireland, and Pat Politano at Anthony's house, all looking goofy, after high-school graduation, 1966 (Larry's about to sign Anthony's yearbook)

[I hope I haven’t abused the privilege of this guestbook, but I found I had much to say about a man whom I knew since we were both nine years old.]

When I was growing up, all through school (elementary, junior high, high school, college), I had two best friends: Pat Politano and Larry Zielinski. We lost Pat over 30 years ago, and, although Larry and I weren’t the inseparable buddies we’d been in our youth, we always knew the other one was there, and I guess I thought he always would...

To the man who taught me everything I ever knew about designing and really changed the way I see the world. I cherish the 10 years we spent together in that little office working and laughing. I will miss those discussions about music, movies, politics, and life. Thank you for being a great boss and an even greater friend. God bless Doris and your daughters and know that this world is a little dimmer without your humor in it. Hit 'em long and straight my friend.
