Lawrence "Larry" Richard Casey
Judy Blackman passed along news of the passing of New Jersey numismatist Larry Casey.

Here's a short excerpt from his obituary. -Editor

Larry was a memorable character. You could recognize him by his unique way of speaking, extensive vocabulary, and quirky sense of humor. He forged lifelong friendships with some but shared equally deep bonds with others he had known for far fewer years. Having heard of his exploits, even people who never met him felt as if they knew him.

Larry was an avid numismatist and collected Castro-era Cuban banknotes. He enjoyed sharing his albums and expertise and had hoped to write a catalogue one day.
