In loving memory of Larry Paul who sadly passed away on 9th October 2017 he was a amazing person and a loving dad will be missed by so many
Larry was one of a kind.
He was friends with my dad, and like a godfather to my baby brother.
When my dad left, Larry was there to help. I was a troubled teenager, but he always made time for me, even though he had no obligation whatsoever.
He always had a funny story or a wise word of advice to offer.
It's been over 15 years since we last spoke, but I still remember him fondly.
When my children are old enough, I'll be telling them stories about my mate Larry.
I had the absolute honour to work with Larry in the Whitgift Centre in Croydon.
An absolute gentleman often chatted about my martial arts background and his professional boxing.
So sadly missed
I'm a better person to have met him.
Never forgotten dad always love you & miss you so much the girls absolutely miss you grandad xxx
I was lucky enough to drink with your old man in the Cricketers. We watched a few fights together, he always said to me the boxer will mostly beat the fighter and that always stuck with me. A pleasure to have spent a time with him

My first, my last, my everything.
Larry was my boss during my time at the Berni Inn (Jolly Hosteller) in Streatham (March to October 1985). I took an immediate liking to this lovely, affable guy. He was key in helping me on the romantic front, urging me to be bold with the girl of my dreams. I will always be grateful to him for that. On my 21st birthday, Larry grabbed me aside at the end of my shift and presented me with a bottle of champagne, which we preceded to make short work of. He also pressed £20 in to my hand which left me speechless. I had only just moved to London from Scotland and Larry instinctively knew I was a bit lonely. He mentored me and helped me make new friends. I could go on and on with tales of the laughs all the staff shared with Larry. The last time I saw him was in 1985 at his wedding reception. He was one of the few people I've ever met who stills raises a smile to my face, 32 years after meeting him. I was very saddened when I heard of his passing. I had tried to contact him through a website on personalities in South Norwood, but sadly didn't manage to communicate with him. Larry in my eyes was a very special guy. He was outgoing, thoughtful, funny and above all, a great friend. I've always missed him and he will never be far from my thoughts. I now tell my own grandchildren of this former boxer I once new. I hope it is of some comfort to his family that his memory is alive in Edinburgh. My deepest condolences go out to his loved ones. Larry was a lovely, lovely man. Rest his soul.
So true Me and Larry where very good friends when we where young 15/16/17/18/ years and beyond we had such good times in Liverpool sadly missed and always in my heart xxx Tina
