His wife Evelyn was my best friend. When she died I was living in their home. I had gone through a difficult divorce and they welcomed me. Larry was generous w his time and made it easier to heal from our loss. He was always an old fashioned gentleman unlike so many today. I shall always treasure my memories of him. Rest inpeace dear friend.
