"The Fazz" was one of those rare individuals that you might meet 2 or 3 times in your life. He was larger than life in every sense of the phrase, with a great physical presence, a cat-quick mind, an unrivaled knowledge of "all things transportation" and keen entrepreneurial spirit. Larry never saw problems, just opportunities, and never got enough credit for being the truly charming and generous individual he was. Too young - rest easy sir. - Posted by: Jim Poklitar (Co-Worker) on: Dec 03, 2007

I enjoyed the time spent with Larry through our friendship and employment. I really liked making him smile, laugh, and shake his head at me.......with the things I would say or the pranks I would play on him. I will miss him, but I will always cherish the friendship. Bye for now. Mark D. Carlson. "I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know." - Ralph Waldo Emerson - Posted by: Mark D. Carlson (Family) on: Dec 01, 2007
