Larry was always thoughtful and always kind. He was the sort of person who was always enjoyable to be around. I'm thinking of him and will miss him. These photographs show how very much he loved his family. I wish all the best for the Guisinger Family.
What a good friend he was and what an amazing guy. Larry was smart and funny and generous. He was impressive in so many ways. He read everything and remembered everything he read! He was cultured and could converse on any subject. He knew authors and film directors and play writes and movie dialogue. He was fun and sweet and good natured. He was modest and never said a bad word about others. The only thing he really didn't understand was how someone could watch a movie without popcorn!
After Christmas I tried talking him out of moving to Louisiana. I gave him lots of reasons to stay in New York and when I was finished he said,"I love my sister and brother. I want to live near them." End of discussion! Love is love and that meant more to him than everything else. I'm so sorry he did not live to return home where he wished to be. He talked about all the children in the family. I couldn't keep them straight! I just thought Larry must be their favorite uncle. My heart goes out to the whole family.
Peace and Blessings, Sally Andriette
Larry always made me smile. He possessed a real southern charm and wit which he brought to bear on the many discussions we shared at our Sunday restaurant meetings. Larry was full of stories about everything: his work as an anesthesiologist at the hospital, his time in the Navy, his family and farm in Louisana. He often treated everybody to drinks of Negroni and the last time I saw him, he offered me sips of his beer. I remember him hauling his body around at the Cloisters in NYC and watched as he walked so slowly to the bar last Sunday. Looking backwards, I suspect he was a lot more ill than he let on. When I texted him when he was supposed to have completed the surgery and received no response, I just thought he was out and about, living his life. He had told me he was planning on moving back to Louisiana and I had told him I would miss him. He then invited me to visit him in Louisiana. Little did I know that would be the last time I would be with him. I extend condolences to his family and want them to know how very much he will be missed.

We in Rockland Mensa will deeply miss Larry's presence at our monthly meetings in La Fontana in Nyack. He was with us from the beginning in 2001, and we got to know him well as the years went by. He would tell us about his life in the Navy, his career as an anesthesiologist, and his farm down in Louisiana. He was a kind and generous person, and was always ready to give us medical advice free of charge. We always enjoyed his special fruit cakes that he gave each of us at our Christmas party. We are going to miss his humorous take on life...
