It is a very sad day indeed. I am glad I had the opportunity to have a long conversation with him many months ago in which we discussed Zeenut cards he was selling and then branched off in to cards, dealers, buyers, collectors and the hobby in general.
I echo the sentiments of a previous poster that we have lost someone who kept the hobby alive during earlier times when the hobby was still growing and had not reached the heights it is at today. As men like Larry, Lionel Carter, Lew Lipset, Gar Miller and others reach their "golden years" we need to pause and acknowledge their contributions. It's one thing to collect cards because they are great investments it is something else to collect, even if you know you might make a profit down the road, because you truly love cards and the hobby.
RIP Larry and condolences to the family.
