Larry and I became fast friends early on back at Stuckey School.  He inspired me on my hitch hiking adventures and later on I visited him when he was living in San Francisco's upper Height district.  He was always the kind of friend that even after years of no communication we would just pick up where we left off.  About a year before he passed I went to Lansing where he worked making prothesis and we spent a day kayaking in the city.  He was not only a great friend but great person.  I miss him often.

I remember Larry well. He was a buddy during my school days. Sad to read this. RIP Larry.

The last time I saw Larry was at the Murray's Auto Parts @ 8 Mile & Grand River where I was working a few months before I moved to Utah.  He was his usual happy and crazy self. I'll never forget any of the crazy things he did both at Pearson and Redford Union. He made life lots of fun for everyone who was blessed enough to know him.
