Last Saturday a friend of mine and member of this board passed away.  He suffered a massive heart attack and died within 10 minutes, before paramedics arrived at the home of friends he was visiting.  

Larry was a tennis player and, although a smoker, thought he was in good health.  He was 60 when he died.  The autopsy indicated that his arteries were clogged.  

Larry posted on this board as Lencho.  Because he was very open about his lifestyle (and also because of our conversations) I feel comfortable in making this announcement.

Larry was a historian and a person with a keen interest in politics.  We spent many enjoyable hours debating these and related subjects—as well as comparing notes about Tijuana and its wonderful chicas.

I will miss him.  Vaya con Dios, amigo mío.
