Philosopher, poet, artist and friend—Larry lived in Socratic, thoughtful dialogue with the people and the world around him. His creativity and conversation enriched the minds and brightened the days of many souls over the years.  He was Christian in his faith, highly valued his sobriety and the recovery fellowship at 303 Madison Ave.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Robert “Bob” Comas.

A special thanks to all of Larry’s caregivers over the years at the Norfolk Regional Center and the Norfolk Veterans Home.
