I was fortunate to know Larry in a different setting than most. Larry was at his best when after a day of fishing and hiking, he was presiding over the kitchen in the Agawa Canyon.

I was honored to work with Dr. Crane at Harper Hospital during the late 80s through early 90s and later as a colleague in the network of HIV care providers. His compassionate care and dedication to his patients was extraordinary. My condolences to Mary Jo and all of his family and loved ones.
