If you know who the SFO chief pilot is, then you should know this, but I'll cut you some slack.
Larry is indeed the SFO chief pilot. It's a standing joke. If you call him Larry, he corrects you, "My name isn't Larry, it's Lawrence." He has virtually no respect in SFO due to his not having a spine, and not willing to do anything that might be construed as sticking his neck out for anyone.
So, many of us call him "Larry."
