    So I never met Larry.

    Could someone here who actually met and talked to him write a few words about him, a eulogy?

    No one here at TNCR has met Larry in real life, but a WTF regular has met Larry in real life.

    Met him for five minutes and cashes that fact in, for so much more than it is actually worth.

      I believe CathyS met him, but I may be wrong. Steve Miller met him as well.

      I spoke with him on the phone for about half an hour.

        She did, as did Cat lady - was that her handle? The former piano dealer in VA. She wandered into his little antique store in TN. She said he didn’t seem happy to be seen by her.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

          Not sure what the narrative is. I guess that he was a serial business owner, including a piano shop, but that he wasn’t successful because people who don’t appear gregarious to random pop ins in the middle of their day, are not successful.

            Steve Miller met him as well.

            I did lurk “ over there “ and read the thread. Other than Dewey, Frost and Madame Kollontai I really don’t see much in the way of grave dancing.

            Likewise, regardless of whether Steve Miller spoke to him five minutes or five hours, I noted that Miller’s physical description of Larry does not at all jive with with alleged photo Gryphon posted some years ago. I remember Steve Miller as a pretty even keel poster and not prone to hyperbole or immoderate statements. Miller’s physical description if Larry is as follows:

            ”I remember him as being a big, light haired, Irish-looking guy.”

            I do recollect Gryphon posting the photo although I do not recall comments from Larry about the picture. Perhaps someone here remembers.

                  There's another one, but I'm dang if I can remember where I saw it. It's a pic of Sarah leaning on a gate, and Larry is sitting off to the right, facing the camera.

                    I have to admit, even recently, I thought that perhaps he was not a real person. But it does seem like he have been met in real life.

                      Yes I know that but I believe it was Gryphon who originally posted it years ago either in Webster’s Coffee Room or Fat Shirley’s. I do remember when was posted although I do not recall the commentary surrounding it.
