It was Larry's programming skills that made the onlne reporting that we have all come to rely on possible. Starting with the Compuserve Motorsports Forum and then with Drag Race Central, Larry continually refined and improved his software and we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. He loved drag racing and dirt track and had a unique sense of humor. We had a lot of good times together and he will certainly be missed. RIP my friend.

My condolences to the family. A great loss to the racing family. Probably never got enough credit for his contributions.

As recently as July I sent Larry a message as a FYI and he quickly responded that the error was his "oops" and he had fixed it. Given some of the guff he took when DRC had to cut back some of their reporting (due to loss of some sponsorship) I was kinda surprised that he took time to explain the error in detail to me. Serves as another indication of how much pride he took in his reporting and the expertise he brought to the table. RIP Larry.

Sorry to hear this. I've enjoyed the coverage of all these events and the dedication of Larry to post them for us.

Anyone who knew Larry or worked with him would not have been surprised. No matter what anyone said, he still tried to do everything the right way.

I am sure most folks don't realize how much Larry did to help us "watch" from affair.

He will be missed.
