Larry and I met each other in Naples at the end of 2018. This short-term acquaintance, some of his casual remarks and movements, brings me back to the happy times with old friends. I wish we could found each other sooner. I wish we could accompany each other longer.

Even though we didnt spend all that much time together, I came to know Larry as a kind hearted, soft spoken and bitingly witty person. Furthermore he was a fierce Ping Pong opponent.

Condolence to his family.

He will be missed.

Larry was like a big brother to me when we met at Indiana University. He helped me practice my Chinese with a great amount of patience. It was only a couple months ago that I asked him to attend my wedding in US. It saddens me that he is no longer with us. I wish the best to his family and I am grateful to know a great person such as him in my life.

I am shocked and saddened to hear this news. I enjoyed many discussions with Larry while he was in Nanjing. He was kind and thoughtful - a model professor and a model person.

Larry organized a wonderful joint faculty monthly seminar with the Business School at Nanjing University and the Hopkins-Nanjing Center, Chinese American Studies Center of Johns Hopkins University. I kept in touch with him throughout his tenure in Austria. A wonderful colleague and a warm, compassionate human being. Hope we can put together something in his memory.

Yu (Larry) Chen in Memorium

I have fond memories of Larry. Soon after his arrival in Graz we started having discussions about the Chinese housing market. This gradually led to plans to write a paper (along with one of his former classmates from China). Thereafter my discussions with Larry usually began by discussing the paper, although we often then digressed on to other topics. I always enjoyed our chats. Larry was very patient, kind, and an interested observer of human behaviour and customs. My wife and I had said we wanted to take him to a thermal bath about one hours drive out of Graz, that is very popular with the locals in the area. We were confident that he would have enjoyed the cultural experience. Now we will never get the chance to take him there. More generally, I regret not spending more time with Larry. We are all so busy, that we often struggle to find enough time for conversation and enjoying the company of friends. I am proud to be able to call Larry my friend. I will miss him.

Rest in peace, Larry.

You come, you live, and you left. You left us not just a name and some papers but also your insights, smiles and love for the life. May you rest in peace in the heaven.

Dear Chen Yu,

I consider what I am saying here is the continuition of our past communication, but not the last.

Given the short time you had with us, you generously shared the best of everything you had with us - your kindness, your sincerity, your beautiful and easy smile and your love of life, which was self-evident in your tireless pursuit of the truth with the scientific discipline of your field. Your passing is a huge loss to all of us. I know it is time to say good-bye, but I want assure you your absence will be felt every single passing day.

May you rest in heavenly peace.

- from an older friend
