    We had the honor of meeting Larry at the Tridents show a couple of months back. was cool as hell to see him hop out of his chair and wander over to Goozgaz' lincoln and start asking him questions and complimenting the work done to it.

    he will be missed but he will continue to inspire many for years to come!!!

    i really am sadden. i read this topic earlier and i am not ashamed to say i broke down and cried. this man was like John Wayne to me and to meet him back in 93 and to become his friend and hang out with him at his shop was one of the best things that ever happened to me. he helped change my life. this is the only man i can truly say was and will forever be my hero besides my dad.
    Larry, thank you for all the great memories you shared with me and for taking the time to talk to me when i was just a snot nose little punk. i only wish i could of told how much that meant to me the last time we talked.

    This news is horrible. Mr. Watson was my hero and I'm sure was the hero of many of here. He was THE king of Kustom paint, no one else will ever come close. He'll never be forgotten. From now on everytime one of us shoots scallops, flake, panels, flames or kandy, we should consider it a tribute to him.
