What a loss.... Larry was a great friend and partner. Whether it was talking about cars, races, race car drivers, old times, or going to swap meets, car shows, playing jokes on people, or anything car related Larry was there, and a good many hours were spent enjoying the time. I'm glad that Larry was able to see my dad and I get Ike's old fire truck restored, and it brings great pleasure to me knowing that by me and my dad letting him drive the fire truck and the '37 Plymouth pickup (which was Larry's favorite vehicle in our collection) that we made his day. During the times of Larry's illness, and since his death, I have had so many people tell me how Larry's face would light up when someone talked to him about driving our old cars. So many stories will no longer be swapped, so many more jokes that we had already planned will never be played on some poor unsuspecting soul, and to the old car world, my dad and I have lost a great friend, partner and driver. Your presence will always be missed my friend.
