Larry at the EPRINC' s  Board Meeting on May 11, 2016

Larry on April 18, 2023 attending EPRINC's first event after the office relocated to 25 Massachusetts Ave. NW.

I am honored that I had worked with Larry since 2006, not only as a colleague, but also, to me, he was a teacher, a passionate and insightful expert on US energy policy,  and a hobby friend of photography.  My sincerest condolences to Carol and the Goldstein family!

I will miss Larry who was a neighbor and a friend. He taught me how to understand and assess current political issues. He always had time for an impromptu get together. The cost was either a doughnut or a bagel.  Larry, thank you for your friendship, sharing your intellect and just being a great neighbor. I will think of you often…

On Monday morning our organization, Energy Policy Research, lost a Trustee.  I lost my old friend and colleague. The loss is unbearable.   I first met Larry in 1974 when he was working with John Lichtblau. They were trying to convince the senior Senator from Washington, Henry "Scoop" Jackson, to pursue legislation to build the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Their insights and hard work prevailed and it was the early days of trying to bring some rationality on how the country should think about energy security and the essential role of petroleum for the U.S.  I suspect we spoke on the phone almost every week since the mid 1970s . In 2006, when the Trustees decided to move EPRINC to Washington, DC, Larry convinced me to take over the Presidency of our  small organization.  Nevertheless, he remained active and routinely gave us ideas on central issues that needed hard work. We had a lot of great arguments and so much fun over many years.  It will be a  very big hole to fill.  My condolences to the entire family.

When I think of Larry the first word that comes to mind is "passion." I know of no one in the energy sector whose analyses and policy concerns were articulated and presented with more passion than Larry's.  He always wanted to  "'get it right" and to make sure that people in a position to get policies right were aware of what was right. The second word is  "generosity" -- generosity of sharing information with others, of providing opportunities for others when he saw such occasions, and helping out when he saw needs that he could help fill.  There are other words as well -- "loyalty," "honesty," and "incredibly insightful" are among them, as we all know. These attributes as well as his persistence are characteristics that most of us will remember.

This is truly sad news.  

Larry always had time for me, to talk about business or just life in general.  Always.  I am grateful for that.  

Larry was a rare mind but also a rare person, generous and willing to help in whatever way he could.  

My deepest condolences to the entire family.

My sincerest condolences to the Goldstein family. Larry was both a colleague and dear friend. We met many years ago, then would meet at quarterly macroeconomic meetings of LHM&A in St Louis but then our connection flourished when I came to work at PIRA in 2003.  Larry had a special talent in energy, policy, and macroeconomics. He could see the big picture, had a special knack for communicating his messages, was a first-rate analyst, and an icon in the energy business along with Gary Ross and John Lichtblau, with whom he worked. Most of all he was reciprocally loved dearly by his family and people he associated with. He was generous to a tee. I will dearly miss our daily conversations on matters going on in the world, how life was treating him, or his latest photographic expedition with his beloved Carol. So sad.

Larry had a huge impact on multiple generations of energy policy analysts, including myself. One of the sharpest minds in the field, he was always generous with compliments and words of encouragement to those around him. While he is no longer with us, his work and legacy will live on.

I will sorely miss Larry,  my longtime mentor, supporter, and friend.  And one of the sharpest energy minds on the planet from whom I’ve learned so much. 

I know Larry loved his family and grandchildren immensely. My heart goes out to them along with my prayers for peace and strength during this difficult time.
