For those who know USAT's Larry Weisman

Larry has been an NFL writer there maybe from the beginning. His wife, Karren – a graphic artist at USAT until she struck out on her own as a freelancer – died at the end of last week:

my sympathies to larry and his kids. how awful. :'( :'( :'(

larry's one of the truly good people. quick to smile or offer a one-liner. i knew him back in the day, when he covered the jets for westchester-gannett before he left for the upstart usa today.

he'll be getting a phone call, that's for sure.

 

I bought my first place from Larry and Karren, when they moved to the burbs to start their family.

She'd had a tough way to go, for a long while.

 

Damn.

Larry's one of my favorite people in the circles of the NFL. That really sucks.

My prayers to Larry and the family.

 

very sad

wonderful guy. my heart goes out to Larry and his family

 

Tremendous guy. I feel terrible for him...
