Mitch I’m David Steur’s girlfriend, Larry’s nephew, and I remember him speaking fondly of you. I believe you even helped David with a computer issue a while back. I’m sorry you had to see Larry pass but so thankful, as I know David is, that a great friend was with him in his last moments. I truly enjoyed reading your memories and hope you continue your walks. Take care.

Mitch I will never forget my Uncle Larry. Miss you already Uncle Larry. Last summer my boyfriend and I went to go visit Uncle Larry and met him at the Arts festival. Uncle Larry never had a bad thing to say about anyone, he was just like his mother, my grandmother a positive man. @——-> Rest in peace Uncle Larry and tell grandma, grandpa, and my daughter Melissa I love them and miss them!!!

I watched Larry meet hundreds of people during our walks, every single one of them was happy to see him!

Re: PDA
Before I taught Larry how to save data regularly.
1) He used to call me for phone numbers before backup and Android.
I had to keep an extra copy of his phone book on a remote system so I could get it from Web.
He entered about 1500 numbers manually when he got Android.

2) He would call, “I can’t find my Palm! Do you know what I am supposed to be doing today?”

To spend time with Larry was to know Larry because if you spent time with him he would tell you all about his life. There was no detail of his life too intimate to share (or anyone else that he knew for that matter). This is one of the things that drew you into his life and Larry into yours. Larry wore his heart, feeling & politics on his shirt sleeve & wasn’t shy to share any of them with you. A conversation with Larry could both exhilarate & exhaust. It could go from agreement to debate to argument & back to agreement again. I found myself wanting to call him these last few days just to get his opinion on all the events surrounding his passing. I wanted to reminisce about the never ending trip we took back once from Somerset, Ky, or the PDA’s he was always misplacing and losing, or listen again as told me about all the amazing things his “smart phone” could do, or once again renew our debate over the musical relevance of the Avett Brothers. Larry was a friend in the true sense of the word in an era where we “friend” people over the internet that we have never met. I always told him he was my role model for aging, an individual who remained passionate & involve with living.
Larry once told me about a friend he had, a runner, who had passed away unexpectedly. “You know, the thing about this man was that I thought he was my best friend but when I spoke to other people, they all said that was their best friend too!”. I believe Larry Steur had the same quality and it was confirmed at his memorial when so many people told me what a close friend he was to them. I will remember him for the passion he put into his life & will strive to do the same.
Bon Voyage, Larry, until we meet again.
