Not sure what to say?

So sad to hear of his passing. He was fun and kind and will be missed as part of the wonderful group who comes to the Gray Goose. Sending love...

The world is a better place because Larry Merriam lived his life in it.

I began my 25+ year automotive career working for Larry at Key Lincoln Mercury. He was, and to this day, remains best dealer principal I have had the pleasure to work for. He cherished his employees. Many of today´s dealer principals should take a page from Larry´s book. Thank you Larry for all you did to advance my career and may you rest in peace!

My condolences to the entire family. I had the privilege of being hired at Key Lincoln Mercury and worked for Larry for many years, along with many memories. He was the kindest dealer principal I have ever worked for. Larry, thank you for many opportunities and the pleasure of working for you. My sincere condolences to the entire family. With much love from the Fronckiewcz family.

We are so sorry to hear about Larry´s passing. May his memory be a blessing Sylvia and Bruce Brauner

My condolences to Larry's family and loved ones. We were friends and fraternity brothers at UConn and reconnected again years later. Attached is a photo from May 2018, New York City. From left Jeff Goldstein, Ed Goldberg, Frank Haflich, Steve Ross, Maynard Seider, and Larry.

Shocking to learn of your passing, Larry. Meeting you a few times each year when back from Florida, I'll miss. We go back a long time as Lincoln Mercury dealers and the stories we would retell each time we'd meet. God speed my friend may you rest in peace.

We met in the 3rd grade and went to Hebrew School and Cub Scouts together and Larry was an usher at my wedding. He was always the life of the party and the world will be a sadder place without his presence. BDE.

I´m very sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. He was a true gentleman. Condolences to his family
