Lynda,
I saw in JUF magazine that Larry passed away. My parents were very very fond of you two.

May his memory be a blessing for you and your children/grandchildren.

Warm regards, Susan Spielman Stern

Larry was a good and sensible man and a man of his word.

He did his best for his family.

He was a sophisticated and accomplished lawyer, who had a great sense of the balance of things, when and how to proceed, and when not to.

We had adjoining offices and typically went out to lunch together three or four times a week, over a period of about 20 years.

Whitney onece said to me: you and Dad have adjoining offices, but do you often get to speak together; and I replied: Excluding lunch, usually not more than three or four times a day.

He was special to me and hopefully I was of some value to him.

He will never be out of the picture.
