Tributes

Larry, you were definitely one of a kind mate, with a great SOH, kind giving heart, but were straight up when needed, a real good buga, a likeable rogue. I got to know you when you lived in Riverton as you lived beside my Dad. We had some great battles in our poker games, some awesome memories there. You would very rarely see Larry pissed off but if he was, there was always a good reason for it. To all his extended family, my deepest condolences. R.I.P Larry Adrian
