Sorry to hear that. I met Larry in Sharky's around five years ago [?]......not too long after his wife's tragic death.
DEP Larry....and Raquel.

I would drop in their place whenever I was at Daggett's. Was Raquel's murder ever solved?

I don't recall hearing anything to that effect, but I hope so.

We were told that she was killed by her nephew who worked for her at the time over some kind of money dispute.

Looks like a South Coast Farms tee, Jorge. In this case, it appears you gave HIM the shirt off YOUR back......LOL!
What wonderful people they were. It was the first "improved" campsite I ever stayed at in BOLA, after I got tired of tent camping in the wind farther
out on La Gringa.
Is someone still operating the place?

Well, you guys know that Larry had another woman living with him, right? Or did that change recently? Also, there was la senora who kinda ran
the place for them while they were gone.

I just heard this a few days ago. I have always been treated like family every time I have stayed there. He will be missed and my kids were very
upset to hear they won't be seeing their "uncle" Larry anymore.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at the house they rented on the beach. Raquel prepared the best meals and Larry was always putting around in his
little pickup asking if we needed anything in from town. I am sure they brought joy to a lot of people. My wife and I still shudder to think about
her violent death.
Anyone know what happened to the house/hotel/restaurant?

These people here, on this site, are dear and trusted friends. I so trust them, that when my heart was breaking, I could come here and feel safe to
'release' and move on, despite the few trolls who tried to poke at me, to hurt me more.
Larry exuded the spirit of Baja. He met friends, or not, but they were welcome anyway. Your words on this board speaking of tabloid B.S. hurts me and
others. Places like Craigs list will feed your need for drama, but please baja friend, have respect for those who suffered such a loss and tragedy.
Gossip is never useful, in fact a few careless words such as yours can form an opinion of a good man, who lived his life to leave a legacy of good
will and friendship. Despite my own recent experience of a cheating husband causing divorce, I will not sit here and let go the damage you are
propagating over rumors. These words here, now, are Larry's legacy to the efforts of his life and generosity and friendship. Please go away to another
thread until the rest of us can respect a real Baja man and wife.
Still with respect,
M

Yes he did, her name was Betsy. She was the widow of a previous BoLA resident. This happened well over a year after Raquel died. Being alone is not
fun. Good for Larry that he found someone to spend time with.
