message: Since we seem to be veering off into that direction: I still have photos of Larry, the BBS, a Top Bananna flyer, a pic of The Chair (along with one or two press clippings I think), various business cards, etc.
Regardless of whether we break out a new page, I think we'll have to agree that there is honest dispute over Larry's presumed cause of death.  Larry's methadone maintenance was no secret, nor were his frequent ODs.  At the time of Larry's death I tried very hard to get a firm cause of death but was unsuccessful.  As you are clearly someone who knew Larry as well as I did, you'll remember that he said that his weigh and his drug use were both his preferred "forms of suicide".  And they are both equally as likely to have killed him.
Larry led a pretty interesting life in his own right, and a break out page is probably the right thing to do.  I'd be more than happy to help provide material!
Also, as much as it pains me personally, the Henny check business has popped up here repeatedly, and I cannot deny it was and is legitimate news - removing it is deception through omission: it should stay.  At least this way, the true story gets out, and not the bastardized mess that was the original insertion.

message: While numerous "sources" name Liverpool as his birthplace, this seems to be incorrect, and a couple of sources state London. His birth was in fact recorded in the St. Giles district of London in March 1906. See FreeBMD RodCrosby (talk) 12:27, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubious 

message: All during his life, sources have reported Henny Youngman's birthdate as January 12, while the social security index now reports March 26. Also, Ancestry.com reports his birth in London, not Liverpool. On the other hand, he arrived in New York on the Cedric from Liverpool on September 16, 1906. He was listed as six months old.If this was not just an estimate, he was born in March. The question is, why did all early reports say January 12?(talk) 12:51, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I met Larry at Franconia College in 1973 where we became fast friends. I was General Manager and Chief Engineer of Franconia College's student radio station, WOMB AM 570kHz, but eventually shared leadership with Larry; he took over the position of General Manager and I remained as Chief Engineer. Larry was influential in adding Top 40 music programming to the radio station in the style of broadcasting made popular by Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow of WABC in New York. Before Larry Kelly attended Franconia College the radio station followed an album oriented format popularized by many FM stations of the period even though WOMB was an AM station.
One important person who can credit Larry with helping his career is Mark Simone of WABC. Larry recognized Mark Simone's dynamic personality and talent immediately and both Larry and Mark quickly became very important to the continued success of WOMB radio. Larry Kelly impressed everyone who knew him and no Franconia College reunion event occurs without some tribute made to Larry.
Larry was loved very much by Henny Youngman, his grandfather. I saw that for myself when I had the honor of attending a private roast of Henny Youngman at The Friar's Club and you could see and feel the bond Henny had with Larry. Larry might not have achieved the fame and fortune of Henny Youngman, but there is absolutely no doubt that Larry inherited that show biz bug that was so present in his grandfather. I can only imagine what Larry would be doing today if he had not passed away. I miss him and feel privileged to have known him.

message: I've amended the birthplace to London, per the NYTimes Obit, which I've cited - it was originally Liverpool, and flagged as dubious, please discuss. No expert, so starting a discussion here in case there's evidence to the contrary and we need to say something like "Source X says LIverpool, Source Y says London".
