Read MoreLarry was a great friend and high school classmate. He has been gone for 10 years, and is still missed. A bit ironic, but I am currently reading his Introduction to the Old Testament.

Fr. Larry was one of the most humble, kind, gentle priests I ever met. He was brilliant but kept a low profile. I enjoyed many dinners with. He helped to promote my books.

It's August 15 and I am just now finding out about Larry's death. I didn't know he had cancer. I am so shocked.

Larry gave the Hartford Catholic Biblical School more than we can ever express. He lived and taught God's Word, bringing the Scriptures to life in ways that inspired all of us--students, faculty and administration alike. Thank you, Larry. We miss you.

Thank you Father Larry for leading us through your books and lectures to a deeper appreciation of Scripture. We loved the twinkle in your eye as you signed our tattered copy of Reading the Old Testament and said you loved to see your book so marked up and used. We treasure your friendship and ask you to please pray for us.
