For those of you who will be at SeaSpace this weekend, we wanted to let you know of a tribute and a gathering which will be held in honor of Larry Smith. Ken Knezick was gracious enough to find us a place at the Reliant Center—Room 600, on the second floor, and we will meet from 4:00 - 5:00 on Saturday, March 31st. Please come with memories, stories, photographs if you have them, and the spirit which our dear friend brought to every one of his 20,000 dives. Or was that 30,000? In addition, we will hear a few words honoring this great man just before the film festival begins. All three of Larry’s sons, Trevor, Tim, and Casey, will be with us for both occasions.
Please send any digital images you may have of Larry and his adventures to Eric Cheng, and he will make sure they get to us for use in the memorial slideshow.
My name is Julie Springer, I am Larry’s neice. My mother, Larry’s sister, and my grandmother, Larry’s mother, will be at the memorial on Saturday. Unfortunatly I will not be able to attend, however I wanted to express my appreciation to all of you that will be there to support my family and also to honor Uncle Larry. He touched many lives and will continue to live in our hearts forever.
