  34. Steve and Nancy, my name is Eric Dalton, Bruce and Nancy’s son. I learned of Larry’s passing today from Anthony Penix. I have looked for Larry for years. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have never laughed so hard in my life than I did with Larry. He was always a great friend to me. I was stranded in Charleston, SC, years ago, and he came and brought me back to asheville. The world lost a very funny and kind hearted man. I miss him. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Ps. Tell Steve that Bruce died in May of 2015. I know they would sometimes see one another at BP for breakfast.
