Rest In Peace Brother Larry (surfwordz)

[PPK96754]

I saw Larry's IG posting by his daughter this morning and was devastated. Bruddah just trying to hold his family together. Rekindling with his Mom, was a cherished reunion for him. Larry worked hard to get his physical form back so he could get back in the ocean. That was his high priority and goal. Just to surf again, with his friends.

He spoke of the erBB and how folks stepped up for him and the love and aloha that was given by everyone here. He was amazed by the generosity of folks that he had never met and yet they gave in trying to help him to get better. He cried over the phone. "I cannot believe these people, uncle pete. I cannot believe these people. Unreal" Larry battled hard.

I never got the opportunity to meet Larry. My loss. Larry was just a good bruddah, who loved his kids, cherished his friendships that he had with folks and just wanted to be in the ocean and surf. I'll miss his drawings and stories. Fun reading.

Aloha no, Larry "surfwords" Fernandez
Ho'omana'o ~ Forever remembered

He was an excellent writer. A compendium of his posts would be cool. RIP

So, so sad to hear this. RIP Wordz.

One of the few here I really wish I had a chance to meet/surf with.

Man, this sucks. Surfwordz was constantly full of stock despite battling so much health-wise. Loved reading his posts. Bums me out. The world is less without him.

RIP.

RIP wordz.....

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too
Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A a box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through
Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame
It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

Haven’t been on the forum here in over 10 years. Saw the post on Larry’s Instagram and had to come here to see if there was a post. Larry was so full of stoke, and it would rub off on you, couldn’t help but be in a good mood when around him. Super devastated to hear the news.

RIP Surfwordz! Just reading his posts taught me about resilience and positivity.

I can stop whining about no surf trips and no money this year, and feel 100% better posting some cash for his family. Rip wordz.
