Neil and I were roomates at Rollins College for a year. During that time I was pretty plugged in with Larry and Meryl through their almost daily phone calls to our landline and their frequent visits to Winter Park. (Incidentally, I'm sure the Park Plaza Hotel sends their condolences as Larry was their favorite guest!) However the event I remember most was spending Christmas '97 with the Cohens in Boca where I engaged in the jewish tradition of dining out at a Chinese restaurant on Chrismas Eve. Rarely does a Christmas Eve go by that I don't retell that story. I'm sorry for your and your family's loss, Big. Hang in there, KC.
