To the Editor:

It was with great sadness that I heard of the death of Larry Savadove on Sunday. I think he was one of the best- if not the best- writers that appeared in The SandPaper and Beachcomber since he arrived on the Island from LA in the late 1980s.

As we worked together on Great Storms of the Jersey Shore from 1991 until 1993, he was an inspiration. He made me realize that I wasn’t too old to have a second career, just as he had done.
