Larry loved to travel, try new things, putter in his garden and collect unusual hats. He lived for entertaining. He was highly regarded (by some) as an amateur stock market analyst. His favorite way to spend the day was sitting by the shore with loved ones, savoring an adventurous meal and a good scotch. He enjoyed a wonderful life and he lived it to the fullest.
