| 7 Apr 2006 |  Marijke Mahieu |  Loading...I didn't know Larry all that well, but I thought he would always be here, welcoming new writers to Elfwood and encouraging people to write more and better. I often smiled when I opened new libraries and knew he would have gotten there first with his (quote) "archaic Elven rite known as the First Comment Dance"...He touched many hearts and made many people smile. I wish I've had the time to get to know him better...My thoughts are with Deb and his family. I wish you all the strength in the world... | |

I'm sorry to hear of your passing Larry, I'll always remember you as the man that taught me the differance between a first chapter and a prolouge, thanks.
Rest in peace, friend. | |
| 8 Apr 2006 |  Timothy Pontious | Loading... His first comment to me: "Excellent concept but very brief. That makes it a very good intro for a novel. Don't know if you are considering that, but you should."
Tis odd to leave a note here,
Knowing he can't reply.
Tis sad to see new writers
He didn't welcome on the fly.
It grieves to see a family
Struck by loss at home.
It helps with friends and family here
Bereft, but not alone.
Thanks, Larry. | |
| 10 Apr 2006 |  A. P. Reckert | Loading... It was a deeply saddening thought to learn I would never more swap e-mails with Larry or read another of the wonderful stories he has written. His work and devotion to the writing group FWI won't be forgotten by any of its members. It was an honor to work with you, Larry, and may you rest in peace. | |
| 11 Apr 2006 |  Debbie Newcomb | Loading... When I first read the comments, I couldn't believe it. "No," I said to my friends, "Larry can't be dead." However, as I read on, I could only know the truth, Larry was indeed dead. As I write this, I think that maybe I'm being foolish and you all were playing a prank or making a joke, even though I know that you're not.
I have to agree with others who have commented before me. Larry was a very good writer and a good critique-r. He will be sorely missed by those who knew him and the new writers will not know what they are missing. May he rest in peace, with enough time and materials to write as many stories as he wishes. Where ever he is. | |
| 21 Apr 2006 |  Amy ´the Ames´ Perkins | Loading... Larry was one of the Elfwood Wyvern shelves that I visited before I joined as a writer myself. You could even say that he inspired me to build my own shelf and share it with the Elfwood community.
As he has requested, I am yet again leaving my footprints on his shelf.
For you Larry, *Slowly mourns in the stately steps of the archaic Elven rite known as the First Comment Dance to celebrate the passing of a wonderful mentor* | |

| 13 Feb 2008 |  Rolf Akronos Keijzer | Loading... He was the first to leave his footprints on my shelve, a long while ago, I hope I am not the last to leave some on his. May you rest in peace in a heaven filled with stories as extraordinary as yours. semper fi. | |
| 18 Feb 2009 |  Katie Collishaw | Loading... He was a wonderful man, he made sure to greet almost every new comer to the Wyvrn Community. He was also one of the first to comment on my page. We will miss him very much, and it is disheartening to know that we’ve lost such talent.... | |
| 23 Apr 2009 |  Syn Nykols | Loading... sucks to be three years to late to meet him, but i can tell by his comments that he was extremely helpful and a wonderful man. a toast to those "stately steps of the archaic Elven rite known as the First Comment Dance". | |
