Sorry for the loss of a great high school classmate. He made is all enjoy life.

Was a classmate of Larry since first grade to college. Wonderful guy and funny and smart. Faye Heath Pitman

Larry was a fellow student at Upper Columbia Academy. Although I did not know him well, I am happy to read of his fulfilling and successful life. God bless all who are left behind. Sincere condolences.

My heartfelt condolences to Philip's family. He was such a joy to have known and I feel so blessed to have danced and performed with him. I was his tap dance instructor and he was the perfect student. He loved the music and the movement...practicing and taking notes determined to get it right! he was such a good sport for being the only gentleman in the class with all of us gals. He was a star.... and will now continue to shine. God Bless us all for tripping the light with our King of Tap!

I enjoyed Larry's love of gardening, and every year when the shoots come up in the spring on the rhubarb he gifted me, I think of him.

I am sorry for your loss, your family will be in my prayers. You mentioned that he had a wonderful sense of humor and while I was working for him that was certainly true. He always came in the office in the morning with a new joke. One of the best bosses I ever had. Regards, Sharon Elliott

My husband John and I were saddened to hear of Larry´s passing. Larry was a valuable member of our Canyon Shores community in Cathedral City and a dear friend. Larry´s enthusiasm and dedication to the condo board was immense. We loved spending time with Larry and his beautiful wife Carol. We will miss Larry´s calm demeanor and the wonderful and often humorous stories he generously shared with us over the years. Our deepest condolences to his beloved Carol.

Larry was an amazing talent! Always involved in some project to make a local or world-wide difference that mattered. But most of all, he was kind and tons of fun to be around. Always ready with a joke or pun, you couldn´t help but laugh and lift your spirits! He will be missed.
