I got my first job at what was then The Computer Mart of New Jersey. I remember Larry very well and owe him a huge debt for the opportunity he gave me there.
Especially after my (well-intentioned) mistakes. Once I was painting the basement next door where things were stored and since I had some paint left over I decided to paint the old metal ramp down to the lower level. I forgot to block it off and when my back was turned Larry's father Abe came walking in carrying a box of files. Of course as soon as he stepped on the still-wet ramp his feet went out from under him and he fell. I was mortified and trembling when Gladys and Larry came running over. Thankfully Abe was bruised but okay. They didn't get mad at me and fire me for being so clueless.
I was lucky to have exchanged a few emails with Larry a few years ago, remembering the store and the business. I was very sorry to hear of his passing because we planned to talk again after he was feeling better.
He was one of those very good ones and he'll be greatly missed.
Larry first entered my life when I shopped at his Computer Store in Princeton, many years ago. When I moved into Four Seasons and met him again we began to build a friendship. He was a building block of our community. I was lucky to work alongside of him on creation of our WebSite, his involvement on our Newspaper, and as a co-member in the CERT COMMITTEE where he volunteered his time for the handicapped members of the community
I so admired his vast knowledge of computers.
His presence will be missed, but he will always be remembered for his never ending involvement…

I have so many positive memories of Larry from the time I was just a kid growing up across the street from the Stein family. He was like a second dad to me, and taught me so much about the importance of enjoying life, as well as the magic of technology and computers. He will be dearly missed, and I know I speak for my entire family. -Andrew Darlow and family
