My grandmother lived to 96. Her older sister lived to 97. Her youngest sister is still alive and is 96. I just read about the world's oldest living person, and she is 116. 60 is relatively young.
I came here and found out that Larry had died. I did not know this. So sad to hear of his passing. He did an episode of "A Different World" in the fifth season, and I recognized him, but could not think of his name.

Sixty is actually considered fairly young still. My parents are 89 and 87 respectively. The expected life span of the average American male is something like 82 now.

Hardly young! 50s to 70s is about where people start to get picked off more frequently. 70s and above is the high end, not the average.

That is good to hear that you were able to work with Larry on stage and also able to socialize with him and your family.
Larry was a great actor, who adds a lot to his roles. Very sad that he passed at a young age. I'll bet that his stories were interesting.
