       You guys won't even know who Larry Himmel is, but to me and
       everyone in San Diego, he is very much known and loved by all.
       He has been a part of my life going as far back as the 80's. He
       is known primarily as a News Reporter, but there was a time when
       he was given his own show locally called San Diego at Large in
       which he created Biff and Skippy that was loved by everyone
       here. It was water cooler stuff as people would ask their
       friends and family if they caught the latest adventures of Biff
       and Skippy. I was already a fan of his by the time he
       interviewed my Grandpa for one of his segments he did on the
       show. This elevated him into icon status in my eyes as a kid. I
       still remember the day my Grandpa told me he had been
       interviewed. He was so happy that day. Larry will definitely be
       missed by the community at large here. Kind of shocking to see
       him go do young. RIP friend.
