RIP Larry Smith

[gorgeousgary]

An already sad day has gotten sadder...Larry Smith, seller of books to large portions of the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast, passed away this morning. From what I've seen posted, apparently he suffered an aortic aneurysm and collapsed at home. He was being wheeled into surgery when he left us

I'm sorry for your loss!

I hardly ever buy books anywhere else. He will be missed.

Well, damn that sucks. Our community is notably the less for losing Larry. (Non-default icon chosen for obvious reasons.)

And he collapsed on the one-year anniversary of David Hartwell's death. Bad day for bookdealers, great day for the dealer's room at HeavenCon.
