I looked forward to seeing Larry when I worked at Aspen Athletic. He always had a smile and witty comment to brighten the day. He will be missed. My condolences go to his family and many friends.

Sail on, Larry. It was great to know you, especially as your neighbor when my office was just south of Aqualand. I have so many fond memories of both jokes and serious conversations with you I could write a book about them. But it would probably be banned, so I'll just thank the stars for sending you into my life for a bunch of years.

Larry and Sybil are regulars of mine at Chucks, I was so saddened to hear of Larrys passing. I always looked forward to seeing them both every weekend. Larry was always showing up with a welcoming smile and laughs. I will miss him dearly, and am sending all my love and hugs to his family during this time.
