Today my  sister Chris advised me of Larry’s passing.  I remember Larry being Trish’s little brother in Park Forest, Illinois,  then they moved. I did see him & Trish after I moved to LA.  Unfortunately lost contact with Trish as a result of several moves. My sincere condolences to his family & to Patricia.  






I have known Larry since Park Forest, Illinois days.  As the younger brother of my sister's friend, Sylvia, I met him when he was on leave from Great Lakes Training center.  We lost contact for many many years until a chance meeting in Los Angeles where I noticed his distinctive hand writing on the sign in sheet at a seminar. We picked up as old friends do and about every year we'd call,  just to catch up on our kids and work lives.  As we got older, the year would turn to two sometimes before we'd catch up.  We even had lunch & I got to meet Sally and he met my Mike.  I noticed I hadn't gotten a xmas card and decided to call and learned of his passing from his old work number.   I am saddened to hear of his passing, truly a remarkable man, dedicated to his family and those he chose to include in his circle.  My deepest condolences to Sally, Mark, Brian and Sharon and of course Sylvia.   I still can hear that booming laugh and chuckle.  A man of his word,  he will be missed.
