Dear Mrs. Southwick, Cathy and Family,

I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear husband, father and grandfather. I had the pleasure of spending a couple days at the cottage with Cathy and parents more than thirty years ago, as Cathy's guest. I still remember how Mr. Southwick rose from a chair to greet me. I remember the lovely hospitality. I will never forget him. 

Much love,

Thea Swanson

Dear Pat and family,

Deepest sympathy on your loss. Larry was such a great guy.  He was always willing to take my calls for media interviews and would happily share his insights with the press on price of gas and dozens of other economic issues, even long after he retired.  In addition, he always had a kind word or a funny story to share if it would brighten someone's day. We shared news of his passing with the school--feel free to reach out to me there if I can send you a link.
Sincerely,
Jackie Ghosen
University at Buffalo School of Management

Larry was always willing to help someone in need and was extremely personable.  He and Pat were great hosts at the lake and at the Super Bowl parties in the 90s.

Rest in Peace.

Larry and Jody Sanders

My deepest condolences to Pat, family and friends. Larry was a gem of a man, neighbor, and friend. He will be missed. Rest in Peace dear Larry Southwick. 🙏

Larry was one of our most unforgettable characters.  Bob recalls that he was one of the most helpful mentors ever since he arrived at SUNY Buffalo who became one of his closest friends.  His favorite memory is sitting in the front yard of the cottage, drinking jug (then boxed) wine.  Janice remembers Larry’s dedication in helping her through her dissertation research, gently reminding her to be precise in her conclusions.  Her favorite memory was his unflappability after her going into labor in that same front yard…  a second favorite recollection is his joyful exuberance at discovering a great find at Stockton Barns.
He will be missed.

Pat & Family
Larry was a true Gentleman  in every sense of the word.

I first met Larry when he interviewed me for a position at SUNY Buffalo’s School of Management in the academic year 1976-1977.  Larry convinced me that SUNY Buffalo was a good fit. He was right as usual.  That was nearly a half century ago.  I have known Larry for the majority of my adult life and I count myself very fortunate to have had that honor.  An exceptionally warm, caring, and insightful human being with a dry sense of humor and the ability to take most of life’s trials and achievements with the same leveled temper and recognition.  Larry taught me how to cross country ski and was careful not to laugh too much at a mid-thirty year old spending so much time falling down in the snow.
Larry was someone you could always count on, depend on, and lean on.  He was there for some of my less than finer moments and for my not so great achievements.  A balanced soul who approached life as both a challenge and an adventure.
Since we were both bargain counters, we had great fun times, even after I moved from Buffalo and he to Florida, delighting and bragging about our latest super deal.  He was a person who enjoyed life and made those around him equally happy.  I will miss him.

Uncle Larry was my favorite uncle! He was always jovial, had a keen sense of humor, a gentle nature and a kind smile. He was also very intelligent and loved to have family discussions around the Thanksgiving table! There was always a lot of joking going on and interesting conversation. I remember him having an office filled to the brim with books and journals. His interests were vast- he had a greenhouse, did fencing, loved the lake life, loved computers and politics!  I know he will be severely missed. Our heartfelt condolences to you all.

I met Larry at the Apple Computer Users group in Buffalo. He always struck me as a very intelligent and caring man.  We would talk about computers and other stuff and we became friends. My sincerest condolences to his family. He was truly a remarkable and memorable individual.

I met Larry at the computer store in 1982, were I was teaching a beginners course on Saturday Morning. He was a new owner of an Apple II. He came to about 6 Saturdays and sometimes stayed after class to talk. I found Larry to be quite smart and a fast learner and invited him to join our Saturday Breakfast group. He attended the Breakfast meetings until he moved to Florida. We became good friends over the years and learned quite a bit from each other.  He will be missed!!!

I'm so sorry for the loss of Larry, a good friend. Last summer I visited with him at his summer home in Buffalo, he was so happy.  My condolences to the family, wishing Pat well.

Larry was EVERYTHING written about him and I was lucky to call him neighbor but more importantly my friend. I enjoyed the company of Pat and  Larry so many evenings at their home laughing, “trying” to solve world problems  and enjoying a glass of wine with pizza.
He loved to tease me about the miniature golf courses in MyrtleBeach so I sent him a birthday card full of coupons to golf there. He called me laughing. We also shared many stories of Pittsburgh as he went to Carnegie Mellon! ( only the brightest get in).
I truly loved that man and my life has been touched by him. May he rest in peace. His loving family  was priceless in their care and love for him.
What a gift. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
