Larry Z dies, wake 13th February 2010
2.02.10 by Buffalo Bill
Sad news, this from Josh:
Sorry to anyone who hadn’t heard the news yet, Larry died 4am 30th of December, just less than five years after he was hit by truck on his way home from (courier) work. He wanted everyone to have a big piss up after he died.
There has been a lot of confusion about when and where he will be buried, no one seems to know but it probably was or will be in the States. So because he had so many friends here there will be a wake here, could not decide where to have it – at the Vanburgh Tavern in Greenwich (where he worked for a few years) or the Duke of York.
So it will be both. 13th of February, Saturday. Vanburgh first early afternoon and ride over to the Duke later on. A lot of his friends from Greenwich, Southwark and Bristol will be there. It would be great if his mates from the couriers came down to Greenwich for a beer and the ride into town.
More on the forum here.

Fuck that’s terrible news. My missus and I got to know Larry pretty well when we lived round the corner from the Vanburgh, lost touch really after he left there then we moved away, though I knew about the crash… sad, sad news. RIP mate.

No mention of cycling in the obituary, strangely.
