Re: Passing of a fellow rider and great friend
Met him at the NGW rally, too. Seemed like a fine man. Sorry to hear of his passing.

DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!
Very sorry to read this. I am not sure exactly which events but I had met Larry for certain 2 times and I think 3 or 4 times. Great guy that had a serious love for these old machines.

Re: Passing of a fellow rider and great friend
TERRIBLE NEWS!!!
I believe Larry came to all of my rallies and I just visited with Larry at another event a few months ago. Great guy who will be sorely missed.
Prayers and condolences to his family and many friends.

Please let the family know we are thinking of them.

Three amazing Grandsons and a beautiful granddaughter, four great kids, two crazy cats, a husband who is fun to have around and two great motorcycles, one is an 1200 Interstate currently apart being painted and a Harley. (hey, I believe in riding, and everyone should ride what they love. And I happen to have MBS)

Re: Passing of a fellow rider and great friend
I could not place Larry until the picture was posted. I sat across from them at the dinner. They were a comedy team that kept that end of the table entertained. I am saddened by his passing. It was nice to get to know him for a short time.

Re: Passing of a fellow rider and great friend
I believe there's a nice picture of Larry and his '75 on Randakk's site. Look at the 2008 Rally pictures.

Yes you are correct. He is in a red jacket standing behind his red 75.

Stumbled on pic I took of Larry during the 2012 run and wanted to post it
He will be missed this year.
