Larry is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; two daughters, Beverly Docter and Patricia White; a brother, Robertson D. Ward; five grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter. His son died four years ago. To all his family, our sympathy goes out for the loss of our dynamic classmate, who was such a faithful Princetonian and '31er in many ways. We all will miss him.
