Larry Tritten, Writer Extrordinaire.

Born August 7, 1938, died April 6, 2011

Larry Tritten was one of the most prolific writers of the Twentieth Century, having written and published hundreds of  magazine and newspaper articles, both fiction and non-fiction, short stories, movie reviews, travel, erotica, humor and much more.
At the time of his death, he had a book ready to be published titled "Dream Built Islands."

Of his passing, his good friend Harlan Ellison wrote:
"I was extremely fond of Larry, of his humor, his goodwill and sense of being proudly, as I am, a simple "blue collar" artisan.
I tried to help him out as many times as I could when his times got tough, and now it's over; at least for my pal.
Larry didn't know, near the end, how ill I've become, not how close to denouement is my own life.
But, what is, is; and I have no regrets.
It's been a Great Life.
I wish, toward the end, Larry's could have been easier, too."
