Sad News Larry Merow - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

FatherLarry · 12-04-2005

My condolences to Larry's family. I knew Larry very well. He put a lot of work into the ZR1 Registry and it would be a shame to let his work be in vain. He knew the uniquenss of this special Vette, and that it would go down in Corvette History as an American exotic.

Dave, don't let it go.

Our deepest sympathies from FatherLarry's Corvette Shop & Forum.

don't worry about it Margaret...Larry was one of the first to start the ZR-1/LT-5
group and we all miss him this is our thread to voice our thanks for his love of the ZR-1 and being a leader amongst us! I in fact never got to meet Larry but only read about his doings and it is true no doubt that he was a great person and a true friend of the KOTH ZR-1 and the people who love the vette!

I did not personally know Larry but my condolances to his family; I thank them for all he did for the ZR-1 group and that will hopefully be a legacy that will last forever. God Bless.

I remember how every year the ZR-1 REGISTRY parking area at CARLISLE got bigger and bigger especially 500 in 96.It truly was a ZR-1 sight to behold.

Sad news indeed. My condolences to his family.
He did a lot for the ZR-1 family in the early days.
BTW, I don't think we actually had 500 Z at Carlise that year but we were close but shy of 500. I think it was 4xx?

You guys realize that Larry passed away 5 years ago, right?
He was quite a character, larger than life in lots of ways.
And typical of those kind of people, he left a legacy, some parts of it good, some not so good.
But he was founding Brother of the Beast, and because of that we forgive his transgressions.
I just hope there's ZR1's where you are Larry, god speed.
Drive it like you stole it.

I didn't know Larry or his transgressions. But I am grateful for his part in the registry.
