    @George-K thank you for keeping us updated, without your efforts it would've remained an unknown update longer than a tragedy should.

    I will miss Larry greatly.

    He always seemed like a guy you could call up at 2am on the side of a raining highway and ask for help, and he'd be there. He was passionate and cared deeply for his family, friends, and community. His breadth of knowledge was endless, without forgetting his love of pie. 🙂

    I will miss our spirited debates and pray he rests in peace in Heaven, hopefully I'll be drinking a beer with him and many of us in the ultimate TNCR meet up decades from now.

    Up until a few weeks ago I was thinking I would meet Larry somewhere, someday. I just figured that sooner or later we would cross paths.

    I liked the story he told, more than once, about secretly buying groceries for random strangers.

      Larry was the last of the great internet warriors. I'm sad to see he’s gone. He was always faithful to himself and to the things and ideas he believed to be true. A lot of us have softened over the years, but Larry never did.

      Larry was kind and loving in real life but he took his job on the internet in all seriousness. There were times I got along with him and times I didn’t, but I always appreciated him.

      May God welcome him into His arms.

        That's another cantankerous SOB that I think is a first-class human. lb taught me a lot about pianos and the business of making them. I hope he's doing well.

            Thank you Jolly and it's nice to say hello. We've all kind of grown up a bit together.

            I can't help but thinking of Larry up in heaven meeting God and finding out (by some off chance) that God's not a Dyed in the Wool, Blood of the Lamb, Baptist and then Larry sitting God down and quoting Him KJV chapter and verse explaining to God's why He's mistaken and why He should repent of his wrongful ways. That would be Larry.

              I can see that too. Tom - I've been wondering where you've been and hope you and loved ones are well. Nice to see you here.

                  I just saw Dewey's essay about Larry's passing.

                  What a rotten thing to do.

                  Really cheap.

                            Back in the old days of Usenet, on RMMPM, he was SUCH a son of a bitch! He certainly never held back his opinions, to be sure. Frankly, I was, at first, a bit intimidated.

                            "Who needs this abuse?" I thought.

                            Well...there you go.

                                          I remember his "dialogues" with some lawyer woman (K): "I would not piss down your throat even it it were on fire" (or something like this).

                                          Howdy, radu.

                                          I thought you were dead. Obviously, you're not. Howya doin'?

                                          Not dead yet ! One foot in the grave 🙂 . Nothing to complain about. Good health and, still, bad English.
