Has anyone ever met him?

 

[Miss Betty Juice]

No but I want his job so badly. I've seen him in the park before, just prior to transformers opening.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Nope, never met him. I've only met Mike Sington and Mark Woodbury.

 

[Ryan]

I've met him briefly before. He was very polite. Not much else to say.

Yes I have, several times. He had a very nice office on the 6th floor (5511). A very nice man as well. Someone who actually cared about USH/UCW and did an amazing job especially during 9/11. He's a very good speaker and more importantly had a very good team behind him. The support staff that worked under him enjoyed their time working for him.

In 1995, he and Dorothea Scattaglia (USH - Director, Employee & Community Services) created the Discover A Star Foundation. It was started as a bunch of executives would take a day off and play golf. He along with Dorothea knew they could do this and help support local high school students with scholarships for college. Each year they raised money mostly at the annual Universal Studios Charity Golf Classic. Today that money continues to go to high school students as well as over 50 other deserving nonprofit organizations. At the 2015 Charity Golf Classic, they raised over $600,000 bring the foundations cumulative proceeds to $8 million.

I wanted to add one more comment. Even though Larry left USH in October (2016), he still gives back. At this year's Christmas In The Spring event, he volunteered his time just like he did every year prior. At 0:08 in the video below, you can see him handing out food.
