It saddens me greatly to inform you
that Larry Wiz died Wednesday July 17th 2002. I know EVERYONE in
Philly will miss him. Larry was “Mr. Philadelphia” 1990 and came in 2nd
place 8 times. He was the only person to qualify for “Mr. Philadelphia” 21 years
straight. He was the Men’s Cricket Champion in
2000.
( I was looking back at all the photos
I took at Mr. Philly and Mr. Cricket, Then I looked at the World Trade Center
Relief photo's. I found the picture that Larry posed for me. He was in rare form
that day and must of said "Bingo" a 100 times. Here's the picture I took of
Larry Wiz. I told him I was going to add the "bingo" caption. He
laughed....)
