    Larry won't be here this Christmas season to tell us about how he paid the bill at the grocery checkout for someone he thought might need the help during the holidays.

    If I remember correctly, they weren't always grateful, but most were.

    That was usually a nice Christmas story.

          Larry hasn't been here for 4 days, and I've sent PMs since then, with no response. The last activity was when he posted about what's going on. It sounded serious.

          I've tried to find him, IRL many times, but I was a bit more persistent today and found this listing in whitepages.com.

          Searched some more and found this. This person's birthdate is, indeed our "Larry's" birthdate.

          Sigh.

          In paradisum deducant te angeli
          in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
          et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem
          .

          Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
          et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
          æternam habeas requiem.

            While I do miss him, I always cringed a bit at that story. I can't speak for others, but usually if I do something charitable I try really hard to not make it known. I don't know why, maybe something subconscious from my past, but I find more joy out of no one else knowing. Maybe I'm being selfish, LOL.

              I pulled up a message from him a couple of days ago - even though there were only a few words. It felt like I was hearing his voice - at least my imagination of how his voice sounded. I suspect we weren't the only folks shocked by his death. In any event, miss him.

                        He was a character, that is for sure. I have never decided how much was just for the internet and how much was real.

                        His passing was shock for sure however.

                                  Could be. I just thought it was a bit strange that the wife was not mentioned in his funeral note.
