Larry's Story
Life
So much time has elapsed since our carefree days at Cardozo. After graduating from the University of Miami School of Business in 1977, I realized a lifelong dream and moved to Los Angeles. I have been very fortunate to have lived in such wonderful communities as Marina del Rey , San Clemente , Woodland Hills and currently Sherman Oaks.
By accident I got involved in the Office Furniture Business in 1979. I have had a few stints in other arenas but somehow always found myself back in the furniture business. For the better part of twenty two years, I have been involved in this business.

ird grade. He is my hero and my inspiration. I was blessed to have had a wife who was my absolute best friend as well as my business partner. Benjamin and I are honored to carry on her legacy which she worked so hard to establish. We are in the process of starting a foundation in her name to benefit children with Asthma.
We were also both very active in Benjamins school. We gave our time and money to benefit the children of Sherman Oaks Ekementary School. I continue that involvement today. We also spent alot of time helping and giving to children that are less fortunate then our son is. It gives us a great sense of pride and happiness to bring smiles to childrens faces.
As a parent, especially now as a single parent, I can now fully appreciate all the sacrifices my parents did to benefit our family. My memories of Bayside and Cardozo as the cliche says will last a lifetime. Bayside truely was a great place to have grown up.
