Not sure what to say?

During my years working in the Alta Bates Burn Center, I had the honor and pleasure of working with Dr. Moore. He was devoted to the patients and helped them greatly as they healed from such terrible injury and suffering. Larry was delightful to work with, his broad interests and wit stood out. I became a posthumous conduit for Dr. Moore´s influence in the aftermath of the presidential election in 2016. Through friends of friends on social media I happened to comment on a discussion of...

Gone on, but never forgotten. I still hear your voice, dear friend.

I'm both happy to see the Dr. Moore we all study was as right-minded as the case I studied in law school (and teach to students now), but also sad that he passed. He made a difference, something we all wish we could say.

My condolence to Birgit and Karin. Remembering the time with Larry and Birgit in Berlin, Heidelberg and San Francisco.

My condolences to the family of Dr.Moore, I am a masters degree student in forensic psychology at SNHU. While conducting research on the Tarasoff duty for my class, I found this site. The perception I had of Dr. Moore has changed based on the description you have provided, and I truly appreciate the fact that Dr, Moore tried so fervently to stop the actions of Poddar, which later led to the supreme court ruling on the Tarasoff duty as this is not something which is well known.

I met him in the 1990s in Heidelberg, Germany and i´ll never forget him. I was just a child, but i can remember very good.
He was great and like a grandfather for me. Such a brilliant, funny and amazing person.
All the best for his daughter and wife!

Larry will be so very missed. His razor sharp intellect and his brilliant wit and humor have enriched us all.

One of my closest friends for more than 50 years, (since my Rathskeller days began in August 1961) but not so much for the last 10 years or so due to our mutual stubbornness and downright stupidity. I am happy for our at least partial recent reconciliation and hope that he was too. There are apparently many stories of Larry's wild past, at least some of which are true, but by the time we met his Rathskeller days were behind him and we spent most of those early days drinking, smoking, and...

Larry's passing has left me with sadness. He was truly a unique character and I cherished his humor, his caustic wit and most of all his friendship. We experienced many wonderfull times together while my wife and I lived in San Francisco. Actually at that time, my wife Rosediane traveled extensively so it was mostly Larry and me out on the town enjoying many a good meal accompanied by scintillating conversation (mostly provided by him) and lots of laughter. When we moved to New York our...
