Larry was one of the nicest guy's in the world, and a good elephant man. A lot of us lost a lot of money to him at the Texas Dates "Blue Room". Buckey Steele's temper was legendary, but it reached Def Con 5 the night his 2 pair went all in against Larry's 3 of a kind. He and Karin were one of the classest elephant act's of the day.
