This was tragic news; I heard yesterday.
Larry is just one of those people you wouldn't expect this to happen to. He was enormously generous with his time in volunteering is so many aspects of the Mountaineers. Always had a huge smile.
I just saw him, less than two weeks ago, and he was thrilled at finally being retired, and having friends to go on mid-week scrambles with.
And his wife Sandra is a dear person. They found each other late in life, and had so much to look forward to, together.
I wish I could send him a message that he is loved and will be missed.
As an anecdote, Larry has been an inspiration to me the last few years. I'm turning 40 very shortly, and he climbed Denali in his mid-50s. I would look at him and figure, heck, I've at least got another decade of high living left.
