COPD and other problems have claimed another. Larry was a member here, I believe--but he was a avid supporter of COPD forums, and shared his expericences and advice with so many. His passing will leave a void that won't soon be filled. I hope he is breathing easy today, after a long and valiant fight. Please keep his family in your prayers during this sad time. Here's the announcement of his passing from cg, the admin on the CI forum: "Topic: Larry Taylor now watches over us. cg Administrator posted July 30, 2008 09:59 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only a handful of people who come into this world, and touch our lives in a dramatic fashion. Some of these people are just a fleeting moment in the history of our individual lives, while others, like Larry, have a constant impact for years. For those with COPD, Larry helped untold thousands over the many, many years that he was a member of our COPD community. It wouldn't occur to him that he was so popular, that he will be missed so much. Larry, you see, did his good deeds quietly. He never advertised the fact that he helped so many people in so many different ways. He never talked about his numerous acts of support and kindness. Yet I believe that almost everyone reading this has been at the receiving end of his knowledge and support. We will miss him as a fountain of knowledge. If we ever needed to know anything there was always a good chance that Larry would know the answer. If he didn't he would make sure he found the answer. Most of all, we will miss him as a friend. Through the miles of cyberspace, Larry has become a friend to so many. One only needs to look at the messages of encouragement as he became sicker and weaker to realize the degree of closeness he created with so many around the world. Today, many people mourn him. His family will, of course, miss him most of all. I hope though, that they will take comfort in the fact that so many others will also miss him, for many different reasons. His family members knew he was well respected, but I am sure it is gratifying for them to see how many others will genuinely miss him. Larry -- You have served mankind so well. You will be sitting beside a few very special people, people like yourself who dedicated a large part of their lives to helping others, even in the face of their own individual adversities. Rest well my friend. cg 7/30/08" |

Thank you, Vicki, I have been out of town, even though this was not a surprise, the grief I feel is still immense. Larry was a man of great character, conviction and courage. I consider myself very fortunate that he came into my life, his death has left a void in my life. |
