After working as a history teacher, Larry started the Viking Travel Agency, and ultimately got into real estate, where he combined his talent for renovating homes with his business savvy, love of numbers, and dedication to his hometown Lynn. Larry married his high school sweetheart Suzanne and together they had two children, Michael and Erica (Ricki). Over the years they enjoyed playing tennis, dining and dancing Saturday nights with good friends, weekends at the beach club, traveling a little, taking photos, building scrapbooks and photo albums, and most importantly, being with family. He loved latkes, chocolate cream pie, reading World War 2 fiction, Linda Ronstadt's music, and telling stories about Sammy the Squirrel. Larry was the king of ideas and had an entrepreneurial spirit, but always preferred to play it safe. Slow and steady wins the race. He was someone you could always rely on. Larry is survived by his former wife Suzanne, son Michael and son-in-law Ilan Meyer of Los Angeles, daughter Ricki and son-in-law Andy Rabin of Dallas, and grandchildren Reece, Alexis, and Cooper, in Dallas.
