Larry was the first person to suggest to me that reality, as I perceived it, might not be anything like the perception of reality held by the person standing next to me. We were 12 years old. It took me years to realize just how deep that concept could go. I left K-W after grade 13, returning infrequently, but over the last decade I have sporadically searched to reconnect with Larry/Alan, and others, from our two years at MacGregor Senior Public. I am so deeply saddened to find him eulogised here, and very regretful to have missed the opportunity to reconnect with him and continue that conversation.

Thinking about Larry (Alan) tonight as I review my FB memories. He was so much fun to talk with when as a family we shared vacation time... family reunions or special events.. I especially remember talking with him at Kim and Neal's wedding. Larry had so many stories to tell and ideas about philosophy and religions. He was so smart. I am his cousin once removed... married to his cousin Nat. And so happy to remember him and miss him...!!!! Love to Ruth...!

Larry was one of the few childhood friends I remember from Waterloo. Can't recall the exact dates/grades (perhaps MacGregor's gifted program, or later). Both precocious readers, we would walk and talk about books/ideas. His knowledge and interests were remarkable. I remember the lovely house and (I think) a swinging chair. I left Waterloo early, and as both my husband and I worked in academia I wondered what had become of him, given his intelligence and gifts. Did not know he'd changed his name. Sincere condolences to Ruth and remaining family.

I knew Larry / Alan in a 12-step fellowship, where I was his sponsor for several years. He always struck me as a very intelligent, engaging, and creative guy, and I’m so sorry to learn of his passing. May his soul test in peace. -Russell Ball

I knew Larry before I knew Larry. He would ride by my house on Marshall street on his bicycle in full singing voice. Early 1970s The family home at the top of Marshall was a wonder to me. There was much for me to learn there. In the end it was Ruth who became a life long friend. Sending all my love to the family.
Ruth and I met up with Larry on an amazing trip to Washington DC.

I went on a hike with Larry. In the Smokies you know. Where many of you hiked along with us. Larry was walking with me along the trail. We talked of Fractal Design and imaging, Chaos Theory and other things. I was surprised he was reading very similar books and periodicals I read too. God Bless Him cause he deserves some good times now. He deserves some good time...

I’m cousins with Larry (Alan) and Ruth. I looked up to both my cousins. My remembrance of Larry is that he was energetic, very kind and incredibly smart. I was very much in awe of him. The world has lost a big hearted soul. RIP Alan

The world has lost a good hearted soul, Rest In Peace, Alan.
