Barb, I am so sorry. I just found out this morning, April 21, when I seen Larry's obituary online. We talked on the phone less than a week ago. Larry was one of my dearest friends for over thirty years. I will miss him and our weekly phone calls so much. My sympathies and prayers to his family and loved ones.

I have known Larry for almost 20 years and will miss him. We usually talked every couple of weeks about trains and weather. I have been fortunate to attend numerous train shows with Larry over the years. My life has been enriched because of Larry. Rest in peace my friend. Going to miss you.
