Read MoreLars was an extraordinary man, and one whom I'm proud to have known and called a friend. He was a wonderful mentor and the salon he created with Lorraine, at their art-filled home, brought friendship and inspiration—and great food and drink—to scores of people. Lars was such a larger than life guy that I guess I thought he might outlive us all! I'll miss his wise pronouncements and warm laugh, and his inspiring example.

Dear Lori,
We send you our love and condolences...we have so many vivid memories of you and Lars, though it has been very long since we saw either of you.

Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going --
Two simple happenings "
