I'm sorry to hear that Phoenix has lost someone so helpful and dedicated to the open source community. My thoughts are with Larry's family and friends. I wish that I had the opportunity to meet him myself as he sounds like a great guy.

It's comforting to hear that he was able to take that scuba diving trip. Thank you for sharing the link to Subsurface, hans. Very cool that he had the opportunity to give a presentation on open source software that was tied to his passion!

Sincerely,

denise

Larry was a great friend to PLUG and several other organizations here in
town. He was also a great friend for those who regularly interacted with
him.

Along with Todd, Larry has been the driving force behind the Installfests
for many years. Through his service, Larry has directly helped many people
over the years. He has also indirectly helped even more by improving the
organizations he volunteered for.
