This was the site where Larry H's Used Book Store once stood. Larry was the father of my friend Kevin.
The book store was once a beach shack, which was part of the property of the house on the other side of Lake Shore Rd. There were luxury homes of the day build along this side of Lake Ronkonkoma.

After Larry retired he got the use of the shack from the owner to open the used mostly paperback book store. He grew up near the lake so knew almost anything there was to know about the area.
Eventually the County acquired the Land but let Larry stay open for many year, until the building was eventually torn down.
I remember helping Kevin hook up electric to the Shack.
I only found out about the little memorial some years back. My friend Kevin died round 2009, before Larry.
