Larry was my boss at Andersen Consulting in Chicago in 1990. Great guy and manager.

Larry was a co-worker, a friend and most recently, a man whose convictions and beliefs made him one of the best around us, a Jew by choice. He was a talented programmer and database administrator who taught many. May G-d comfort among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Larry was our neighbor in the same building and we enjoyed talking to him and he always had a funny joke to tell. We really will miss him.
