A Memorial Service / Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, June 24th at the Jaco Pastorius Park Community Center from 6-7pm. Please plan to arrive by 5:30pm as there will be some early photos to see and some of Larry’s favorite Beatles songs performed by Martin Hand prior to the service.

The address is 4000 N Dixie Highway in Oakland Park . General directions: I-95 to Oakland Park Blvd. (East) – Go east a little more than a mile, and turn left (north) on Dixie Highway – the Jaco Pastorius Park Community Center is about 10 blocks on the right. Google map link below.

Please understand the time was chosen to accommodate many of Larry’s friends and colleagues that are working that evening with performances as early as 8pm.

If you have any photos of Larry that you would like to share with his family, we urge you to bring those as well.
