Clifton Lawrence "Larry" Bennet

He was amazing with our dogs and genuinely cared so much about animals and people. He will be missed!

I will miss Larry's wit and talent and kindness. He was present at many sporting events and captured wonderful images of the athletes in my city (Rocky River) and others in the WestShore. Rest in peace Larry. I am praying for his family and close friends.

I first met Larry in study hall at the old Bay High School in 1968. He sat across from me. We shared a lot of laughs when we were supposed to be studying. Larry was such a close friend that I remember all kinds of adventures with him. His car dying at Gore Orphanage, Metro Park late night drives, hanging out at Huntington Beach, parties, and playing cards. The list goes on and on. Party on Larry. Save me a place.

I will miss seeing Larry walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I got to know Larry many years ago after he took some photos on my son playing Bay Men´s Coach Pitch baseball for the Westlife. Those are some cherished photos of him as a boy. Later Larry watch our dog Puck many times. She was always more behaved after spending time Larry. He was a good man and will be missed by many humans and canines a alike?

Larry was my first boyfriend in high school (1969-70). He was funny, sweet and patient. We had many adventures at Bay High. I moved away after graduation and regret not having more time to spend with him. My condolences to the family.

I am so happy to have had a friend like Larry. It's so difficult to make sense of all this. I know Larry wants us to carry on and be happy with what we have. I think of him every day. I remember our trip to my cabin in PA with Eric and other friends. I'll never forget. Larry was so brave throughout his ordeal and never complained. He will be missed by all.
