Re: Pretty bleak future for me.
I wrote a short letter to Larry last week and was waiting to hear from him. Today I spoke with Larry's wife and she informed me that Larry passed away yesterday. She asked me to pass this information on to the forum members. Please keep his wife and family in your prayers.

Well, that's a road we will all travel. In this case, it appears to have been a short journey to a better place.
Peace be with the family.
