Heartfelt condolences to Margot, Larry's kids, and family. He was a great guy, and we all will greatly miss: his keen wit and intelligence; his stories about Boston and the Red Sox; and his in depth knowledge of music, as well as his ability to convey his enthusiasm for it. He was the only guy I know who was able to effectively explain to me why I enjoy the Te Deum and Gregorian chant in general.

He'll be missed so much. I still remember his entertainment at our Cantate Galas - and who can ever forget the heated bidding on the used wedding dress. We hold you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Margot and the boys, my deepest sympathies and much love. Larry gave so much beautiful music to us all, and for that, we are so grateful.
