I was so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was one of the few great human beings I have met in my lifetime,and a true friend. I have really good memories from childhood(Allston street) through my adult life. After moving to Maine, I saw Larry on occasion, most recently in September 2012. I'll always remember all of the Melia Family with RESPECT and great memories.
