While I only worked with Larry for a couple of years, he was an instant friend. His gentle ways, his laugh, his ability to turn a bad situation into a fantastic one will be how I remember Larry. Rest in peace my friend. My prayers are with your family & friends.

For over 20 years you were in my life with Close Up. You would tell me that I had more senority than the people at our travel agency and make me laugh. You took great care of my family and there is a spot in my heart where you touched with your name on it. Steve all my love and prayers are with you at this time. You were the love of his life.
