Larry was my first crush --in elementary school in Beverly, MA   My friends and I would walk to his (and Butchie's) house and hope they'd see us and come out.  I remember the day his mother told me they were moving...that his father got a new job. I was devastated.  The way  he is described in this obituary is exactly how I remember him...kind...humble...loving.  My very deepest (late--I just saw this) sympathies to all of his loved ones. Warmly, Laurie Doble (name he knew me by)
