This may seem very odd, a person leaving a note almost 3 years after Larry’s death. But I wanted his family to know and I hope he knew what a difference he made in my life. I just found out he passed— the wonders of google. Larry kept  popping into my head. I kept thinking, I need to find him and thank him. He was my first boss at IBM back around 1985. I was so lucky. I learned more from him on priorities, and defining key points and timelines, and follow through . He was like a second dad, tough but patient. Boy he had to help refine much of my immature 20-something stupidity! But he never gave up on me. One time I had  a bad experience on trip to an event with a male client . Let’s just say I felt uncomfortable… the  client was angry I avoided him on the trip a lot.  This was decades before sexual harassment was even a thing. I went into Larry’s office and I told him what happened.I was sure I was in big trouble. Larry immediately said I did the right thing and came to my defense. He was kind, funny, smart, patient, tolerant. I wish I had a chance to tell him all that. We did talk one time years ago — I can’t even remember how long. Maybe 10 years? Anyway   Whatever compelled me to google him is what is also compelling me to share this. I hope whoever reads this knows he touched someone’s life in a big way. Mine. Thank you Larry Forsyth. God speed.
