Dr. Cooper was my dentist in Dallas til he retired. I have one of his paintings that I brought with me to NYC in 2000. My condolences. He was a kind and gentle man.
Larry has been a wonderful part of my life since 1981. He was so patient with having all of us come and go with Ann's business. We interacted with Larry every day he was at home. One fun memory I have is joining he and Ann in Creede, Colorado for a week of summer vacation. Larry took me trout fly fishing, dressed me up in waders for a photo op (I had never fished in my life). He caught the trout and handed me his fishing rod and took pictures of "me catching a fish and it was a big one!" Most of my fond memories with Larry were of playing music with him. I did not know 30s and 40s jazz until Larry taught me. I would play the piano and he would play sax and clarinet. We did this together up until about a year ago. It was a joy to see him enjoying living in his home with his caregivers. Carol was an angel to him. Steven and I will remember Larry with wonderful paintings that hang in our house and every time I hear Duke Ellington jazz. He was a great dentist, artist, musician, and friend. He will be remembered!
Cathy & Family, you're in my thoughts and prayers! -Deidra Cunningham-
