Dog's best friend to Glenny; uncle and friend to many. Larry grew up in Bucktown with a passion for basketball and achieved recognition with Hall of Fame status at UIC.

He retired early at 57 and enjoyed the rest of his life walking his dog and fishing for perch, salmon and white bass. Larry's surprise birthday party last month, where over 150 friends and family came out to the bar to celebrate his life, left him with the warmest of hearts.
