My heart hurts for you all today. Larry was a strong special soul. He loved Diane and his children beyond measure. His heart was so big and opened, you could feel it when in his presence. I'm sure he will be missed by many. May his memory be a blessing.
I met Larry at the start of his residency at Stony Brook. I had recently started as a nurse there. We became friends and gym partners sharing a number of adventures over those years. We worked our way up our respective career ladders. He became an attending physician and I became an assistant director. Life took us on different paths after we left Stony Brook but we maintained our friendship over the years. He was a lifelong friend, providing sagely advice. He was an outstanding physician and researcher, chose to move from academia to practice, impacting the lives of many through the care delivered directly and applying his administrative skill at number of organizations.
While I could share many stories of our experiences as friends, his sense of humor and devotion to his family, friends and patients were unmatched. His passing is huge loss to many, but the wisdom, humor and passion will live on with all who knew him.

I met Larry the evening before he and Diane were married. As my husband was a close first cousin of Diane's mother, we were at the Kamin home with other relatives. Larry was a warm and friendly young man, eager to meet all the guests. new and familiar. Then he was somewhat absent for a time in the evening. Diane's mother, Terry Kamin, explaimed that Larry was alone, preparing himself spiritually for the coming marriage, the new phase of life he and Diane would share. I was terribly moved and impressed by this choice on his part--and the years of their life together have borne proof of the wisdom of his choice. The gifts Larry gave his immediate family and all with whom he had contact will endure all the days of their lives. Blessings and thanks, Larry. Rest at peace. Barbara Marder
