I worked with Larry at TVNZ and much later at the very beginnings of CTV when TVNZ was still involved, I will always remember that cheeky smile and infectious enthusiasm and can do attitude ("with your help") RIP Larry, thoughts to his family and friends.

Larry, you gave me my big break. I lied to you over the phone when you asked me if I knew anything about sport. Through blizzards, telethon and years of Susan Sells, it was all because of you. Ros and family, my sincere condolences to you. Good night.

I worked alongside Larry when CTV first went to air back in 1991. I always enjoyed his banter, his enthusiasm, and his smile. He worked tirelessly to get the job done. Sad news. Thinking of Ros and his family during this sad time.

I remember working at CTV in the early years with Larry while producing the music shows. He came in and said do you have any music that might suit a new Canterbury rugby team called the Crusaders? I said "There´s this new Vangelis video we just got in called "Conquest of Paradise " that could work." He said perfect took it to the rugby union and they loved it! Over 30 years later it´s still played at every Crusaders home game! Like this piece of music his legacy will endure. Condolences
