I just registered so that I could post in this thread to you as I can provide answers to any of your questions. PM me and I can give you my number if you need more information and would like to call me...my name is Ryan. I was very close with Larry and his brother Dustin is one of my closest friends. I spent the entire day from that dreadful morning till Sunday night at Larry's house with his family...talk about a painful day. This is the second child his mother has now lost...no mother should have to go through what I saw her go through.

I know it sucks to be uninformed so I'll try to answer all of your questions. I was lucky enough to spend his last 2 nights on the earth with him. This past Saturday night, I was with him at The Kennedy. It was crazy packed all night, and clean up took a long time...then he hung out after work with the fellas. Believe it or not, alcohol wasn't involved.

Larry and and a buddy left around 5:30 with his buddy following him in his car. They never go that way to get to the highway either. They were going East on Kennedy...and right before the fork, Larry's bike got the wobbles and he lost control and died on impact when he hit the stone wall.

I could go on and on about Larry right now as I could never say enough about him. He was truely one of the best people I knew!

Tonight, we're raising money for his family at Cheap (on S. Howard) and will be asking for a $20 donation. Alex is organizing it (I assume you know Alex if you worked at the Kennedy...in fact you probably know me too) and he is either going to have specials for everyone or perhaps make everything complimentary after making your donation.

Visitation for Larry is Wednesday, 6-8shared_pm at Marsicano Funeral Home at 4040 Henderson Blvd. The funeral is Thursday at 9:30am at Sacred Heart in downtown Tampa.

I may be new here, but I'm not new to forums. As the threadstarter said, please be respectful!

He was loved. He still is. He always will be. I miss him like hell. I love you Larry, R.I.P.
