I lived near Larry in Rogers Park in the 1990s. I was saddened to hear of his passing, and keep his neice (whom he loved dearly!) and other family members in my thoughts. He was witty, funny, and a lively conversationalist. May your memories (and I'm sure there are many great ones) bring you peace.

We are so sorry to hear about Larry's passing. Dan and I met Larry when we began attending Northwestern football games in the early 90's. We always looked so forward to seeing him and listening to his stories. We will miss our annual Christmas card exchange. Please accept our deepest condolences and may your memories bring you much peace.
