You can tell a lot about a guy by meeting their children. Having known Todd I can tell that his father must have been an amazing man.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Larry's family. Larry was a client of a engineering I worked for, for which I worked on many of Larry's projects including his residence on the river. I found Larry to be a perfect gentleman as well as a very generous person who was always giving. He knew I liked to play golf and was always giving me golf equipment or some item from his paint stores, those jestures were strictly from his heart and not for any other reason. I am sorry I never got to play golf with Larry and his son Todd, whom I also had the pleasure of working with, as we tryed many times to get out but somethings came up and we could never get out.
