 He was friends with Bill Benton and I think helped with the RC bikes. Might have gone to the drag races with the Honda guys too. He owned Kaizen Vintage Moto bike shop. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057598953595

He sure did Wilbur. Larry was in Virginia when Sam crashed and devoted an enormous amount of time helping him out. Sam more than likely doesn't remember but he was at the hospital a lot.
 Larry was always happy to see all the CB guys at Man Cup....those were great times fellas. God can take people away from us but he leaves the memories. RIP Larry.

RIP 🙏 Larry Romig.  From the time we met, we hit it off and became close friends. All of sudden one race, boom, he was there, and remained part of the team from there on. He was always such a big help and was fun to be around. I talked with him less than 2 weeks ago, after Keith and Jay's untimely demise. He was in the hospital then, but still in good spirits.  He had to go on dialysis about a year or so ago. But he was in the hospital for high blood pressure, waking up in the middle of the night with extremely high numbers.  They couldn't find anything and sent him home. But the big red flag  was him telling me he wasn't digesting his food properly. Way too much undigested food compared to the norm. He passed in his sleep after going to bed Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. RIP Larry 🙏, you gave a lot and are already missed, bro. We sure lost a lot of 750 aficionados in a really short time. You guys and gals take care and listen to your doctor and your body. God bless all of you. Ride on my friend 🧡

Lovely guy, we were friends on Facebook and he always impressed me with his knowledge. What a shame.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Sorry for your loss guys ... Tough when good friends and people whom have enriched your lives die. Hang on to the memories and remember him...he is alive in your memories and the good things he added to your lives with his help.
Sharing some of that with his widow if he was married might be helpful to her. Never hurts to develop a memory book or site where those who knew him and share stories they have about things they remember about him and his impacts to their lives.They being comfort sometimes to family to see how he was helpful and influential in others lives with one of his hobbies or passions.
