Kathy and all of his many loved ones,
I just heard that Larry had passed away.. I am heartbroken to have lost a dear teacher, fellow clinician, and friend even though our paths have not crossed for too many years. He was a terrific guy with a big heart always willing to do whatever was necessary for his patients. Even though we had not had the pleasure of being together, I miss him as though we had seen each other yesterday. I offer my heart felt sympathy for all of his loved ones. I know that he is missed. He was a one of a kind fellow, the good kind.
