I worked in the Houston office in an admin position, and knew Larry. Larry was always upbeat and smiling, and he always spoke to me when passing my desk in the hallway. I liked Larry and was so so saddened when I learned of the accident. I can still see him in my "mind's eye" and can't hardly believe it has been 30 years now. We all loved Larry, RIP.
