Not sure what to say?

We were abroad, and just found out about Larry´s passing. I was an employee of Capitol Motion Picture Supply Corporation. After the company closed, we kept in touch and spoke on a regular basis our last conversation was on his birthday 2023. I will miss him but his memories will remain. My condolence to the entire family. Joan Edghill

I met Larry at the Friars Club many years ago. He was a gentleman and you felt his love for music. Being a full time musician he was always so complimentary to me and many other performers on our Thursday night jam. And to the Perse family I send my condolences. With Love, Larry Stevens

Dear Family, I met Larry shortly after he moved to Cleveland Heights at Nighttown restaurant. Although nearly 30 years my senior, upon meeting, we immediately connected and became close friends. Over the ensuing years, we'd get together frequently, enjoy a fine dinner, and imbibe in a few cocktails. I relished our conversations, his friendship, and his stories. Larry made people feel special and he had many dear friends including my son, Justin. I will miss him. Jay Poffenberger

Thank you for your service Sir.

Dear John, Reeva and Family, David and I are thinking of you and we are sorry for your loss. When I think of Larry, it brings a smile to my face. Fondly, Ivy Kopit
