Not sure what to say?

We so enjoyed hearing from Larry through his writings. Go back to when Larry and our David were childhood friends on Lakeside , Chrystal MN. Bless wife and children with good memories of a wonderfull father and husband.

What a great writer Larry was. I always looked forward to his next piece in "The American Spectator". He seemed like a brave and decent man, with a great wit. I am sorry for your loss.

On behalf of the congregation at St. John's Episcopal Church in Charlestown I send condolences to Larry's family and assure them of our prayers in the weeks to come.
Sincerely,
The Rector.

You forgot to mention that Larry helped the youngsters of Charlestown establish the Charlestown Against Drugs Tennis Club in the early 90s. He wrote many articles for the club, drove the kids to matches and hosted pre game meals at St. Johns Church. He was also there for them when they were in need. He will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.
