As my mind was wandering today (4/27/19), I found myself in a “whatever happened to” mode of thinking and Larry’s name popped into my head. When I Googled his name I found this memorial page and was saddened to learn of his untimely death. I graduated from SUNY Cortland in 1976 with a degree in philosophy. I wasn’t a very good student but I was enthusiastic about the subject and I think, if nothing else, Larry appreciated my interest. I played many games of racquetball with Larry and won some games but don’t recall ever winning a match, as Larry was keenly competitive and skilled at the game. I also spent many hours in his office talking and playing word games. I enjoyed his hospitality and meals at his home on many occasions which made this young student feel special. We shared a pleasure in humorous puns that would leave others groaning. Larry was acutely intelligent, kind and good-humored. I mourn his death, but grateful I knew him. - Wayne Palmeter, Buffalo, NY
