    Default Rest in Peace Topscribe...

    It is with a heavy heart that I come here tonight to pass along the news of Larry's passing. Larry, known here and on other Broncos message boards as Topscribe, was a long time Bronco fan and was one of the most active posters here since the creation of the board. Larry was a founding member of Broncos Forums and one of the original moderators. Larry A. Blake was a huge Bronco fan and he loved to mix it up with everyone on here, even in the smack forum. His quick wit and sense of humor will be sorely missed. Larry was born and raised in Grover, CO, he attended Greeley High School, and studied at the University of Northern Colorado. Topper spent much of his adult life in Tucson, Az working as a copywriter.

    Larry fell ill a few months ago and passed away yesterday, December 22nd, in Tucson, AZ.

    I know a lot of folks are hoping the Raiders help our draft position out a little... I hope the Broncos close out the games in Oakland with an ass-whipping that would make Larry proud. Go and win one for Topper.

    Rest easy my friend, I'll miss you.

    As I am able to learn more about Larry's passing I will share it here, my apologies but what I have posted here is all I know at this time about his passing.

    Back in 'Nam, Top personally invited me to join T's board, I felt special...recruited. I'm glad I did. He seems like the kind of guy I'd have gotten in trouble with and had good memories about. RIP dude. You are missed already. Great presence to have around, a presence whose absence is keenly felt.

    This is very sad. Tops and I would go at it quite a bit in the smack forum back in the day. He had the best counter punch to any jab I could provide. But I loved the way he never took anything I said personally.

    He will be missed. Love you Tops.

    Very sad. RIP.
