i worked with larry at baptist hospital in the 90's before i moved away. i am so sad to hear of his passing- he was so young... i will always have happy memories of larry- i remember how he used to work out all the time and loved to talk about biking and ultralight planes. he was full of energy and loved to laugh and have fun. i also remember when he bought a sportscar and couldn't wait to show all of us at work. he will be missed by so many, and i know that those whose lives he touched will remember his happy spirit and love of life. i will keep his family in my prayers- i am so very sorry. god bless you all. robbie ellis keenan (san diego, ca)

I worked with Larry in CCU at St. Francis Hospital in the 1990's, I have a lot of fine memories of that time and I always enjoyed working with Larry and his comic humor. I am so sorry for your loss as a family...he was too young to leave and I am sure he has left many people missing him at work and home. I hope time heals your loss. Debbie Blaikner LPN, RN, CPAN
