Larry was one year ahead of me at W-L, but I knew him well. I played string bass beside him my sophomore year, but he switched back to cello the next year. I ran track with him and remember practicing beside him in those grueling workouts, and handing the baton to him in the mile relay on multiple occasions. He was always happy and smiling--quick with a joke--a flirt with the girls. I respected his talent and his intelligence and the ease with which he made friends with almost everyone.

Sue... Susan and I are so sad to hear of Larry 's passing. He was a really nice person. He always encouraged me when I was in choir at W-L. You are in our prayers and thoughts.

I am grieved to hear of Larrys passing. I sat next to Larry for three year in choir in high school and considered him my coach and mentor. I respected his talent and kindness. His influence led me to over 30 years of involvement in church music and local theater. Thank you Larry.
