Larry Lederman calling Delaware

[molson721]

He's still around after his cancer diagnosis several years back. Does anybody know if the cancer is in remission? He is not everybody's type by I enjoy his humor calling a race and smiled when I heard he was still with us.

he's amazing fighting the fight. i called him a few years ago when my friends kid was in the battle and he called every night and got the poor kid through his treatments. i couldn't be more thankful for what he did. he had the kid laughing his ass off instead of thinking about his troubles. it really doesn't get any better than LL. a great human.

My other question is where is John Curran?

I'm just curious because I thought he was one of those guys like Terry Wallace who called every race, every meet.

God bless Larry

You said you called him so can you please give us an update or have Larry post here and give an update on his condition because I am sure others have wondered about his condition since he told us about his cancer several years back. I was so happy to hear him calling the Delaware races and to know he is still with us and I hope he will be with us for so much longer.

Was he a guest announcer or is he the regular announcer?

Larry is the best

Told the story here before had the pleasure of meeting Larry at Atlantic city racecourse Prob in 2012 it was right around when he was diagnosed remember him telling me in the announcers booth about his condition and how at the time thinking how it was possible to be so funny and upbeat with having his terrible diagnosis....

remember vividly the day I was diagnosed with Cancer in March i thought back to that day in the booth with Larry how positive he was facing one of lifes most gruesome diagnoses....

really hoping he is the announced there for the summer would love to take a trip up there to see him

Last update I saw was last fall. At that time the tumor was still there and Larry was still receiving periodic treatment.

As others have said, aside from being very talented he's a great guy and it was nice to hear him back behind the mic for a few days.

i haven't spoken to him in about 6 months, but he was doing good back then. he has inoperable brain cancer that is in remission right now.

you can e-mail him at XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. i hope i am not doing the wrong thing by posting his e-mail address, but the one thing i know about him is he won't get to mad at me for doing this.
