I was sad to hear of Larry’s passing. I love the photo you’ve all chosen, it’s just as I remember him. I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sure his departure leaves a huge void in your world.
I am grateful to Larry for giving me a chance back when I was just starting out, and for teaching me so much about advertising and design. He was a huge talent, a great mentor, and always ahead of his time. My memories will be of his sense of humor and his jokes, even the off-color ones, as that was Larry. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. – Stefanie Becker
