My husband and I were devastated to hear the news. Our sincere condolences. I served with Larry on the board at Island Club for almost 2 years. He worked so hard to repair the damage that Helene and Milton wrought. As one of the few both honest and kind people that served on that board, his passing is a serious loss to the community. He was a good person.
