Rand and Dana: I was shocked and saddened to hear of Larry’s passing. Larry was a large presence in the room–a booming voice and a hearty laugh. He was also a teddy bear with a sensitive and caring heart. I have fond memories and will cherish the old iron he shared with me from his huge collection. Rest in peace Larry. 😘
