I’m sorry to say that Larry Clark passed away yesterday, May 25. He died peacefully at home with Mary present. He worked tirelessly to help our club in several capacities over the years. I personally only knew him for the past 10 months but was able to work closely with him in that time. I grew to respect his intelligence and great sense of humor.

His brother-in-law, Dan Mahoney, has posted a small tribute to him on the Porsche Pete Boxster Board.

If anyone would like to reach Mary, I can forward to her.

Rest in Peace Larry.

We make a lot of friends in this club -- and I am still amazed at how it grows around just the fact that we bought a Porsche.

I too thought Larry was a great guy with a wicked sense of humor and the spirit to accept you as a friend on the first handshake.

I am sad to see him go -- but I will smile with the remembrance of our friendship.

And, Mary, your friends in this club will continue to support you and welcome you in all times.

He will be missed. Of the hundreds of students I have had over the years, none have tried harder to convince me they couldn't drive. And yet he was quite good, very happy and a real joy to know.

Our condolences are with you Mary.
