ChoakMyDee Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's good to see his liver transplant gave him a few more years on the planet; I hope they were good years for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancid Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Larry had a good run, he was a famous TV star and good looking in the Jeanie days, would have had more girls than he could ever get to, did well financially. I suspect he would have seen it as a very fortunate life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckd Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 RIP. Larry's mother was no slouch either. Better known as Mary Martin, star of "South Pacific", Peter Pan" and Broadway musicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Was working in Basra in around 1980-1 and the only english speaking programme that we could get on our TV (in our bar-DCM) was Dallas. Every Monday night at 8-00pm I/we would shout "get you beer in now chaps bar shut till after Dallas" Suspect that even Saddam Hussein must have been watching..? Thanks JR ...for the memories.
