To Audrey, I have known Larry for over 23 years. When I started working for Hughes, I met Larry the first day. He was a joker and always had a smile. Willing to help you anyway he could. He showed me how to laugh, party and trap shooting. I will miss him very much. Audrey, I know that this is hard for you and your family, but Larry was really suffering and he is now in a good place amd making it ready for us when our time comes. God bless you Audrey. Love, Roger

Larry and I worked very close together on the set upof the cathode lab for about 2 years. Larry also helped me with purchasing of new hardware used for the cathode lab and the technology area. We shared our accomplishments and frustrations over the 3 years I knew him and gave each other mutual support during good times and hard times. Rest in peace Larry. I will miss you.
Audrey, My fondest memory of Larry is when I first started working with you. I told Larry what a wonderful person you were and his eyes filled with tears as he choked out a thank you. My thoughts and love are with you. Please don\’t be reluctant to reach out. Love, Kathy
Larry was a great guy, and I mean that in the most complimentary of terms. He was kind and sincere and someone you could always count on.

Audrey, Larry will be truly missed by all. I will miss him as a salty fellow you could catch a fish with ” when lucky”, talk about 4X4\’s and share a good laugh. I hope with time, things will get easier for you and know you are surrounded by friends at EDD.
I will miss Larry, he was fun to be around. He is the only person I\’ve ever seen swing at a golf ball and have the ball bounce off both shins, fall down on all fours and laugh till the pain was gone.
I have known Larry for a quarter of a century. I will always remember Larry\’s deep hearted laugh. Find peace in your new place and make the folks their laugh! We will miss you.
Audrey — I\’m so sorry to hear about Larry. I will always smile when I think of Larry, his smiling face greeting me in the morning when I entered Bldg. 230, and always asking how I\’m doing when we\’d see each other in the halls. And I will always remember that he was one of the first people to ask me to add his email address to the electronic Experss On-Line mailing list. And he\’d compliment me on the paper from time time.
Audrey…Even though I\’m their Aunt the Holland family were more like kid sisters and brothers to me. They have been part of my life forever.Larry, be happy in your new home. You have some wonderful company.Audrey, my deepest sympathy. Our thoughts are with you.
Larry was a wonderful colleague and a great person to know. My sympathies to Audry and rest of the family. May Larry rest in peace.

Audrey, my thoughts and prayers are with you. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Larry.. rest in peace, I\’ll miss your smile and laughter.
Audrey, Larry was a true friend. He helped me get through many problems at home and work, and was always so generous. We shared so many great times together, and I am thankful for those wonderful memories. Larry\’s attitude about life was inspiring. He always looked at life\’s problems with a positive attitude. The last time Larry and I talked he was very ill, and he said to me that even if he did\’nt live much longer he had no regrets, and had lived a wonderful life. I will miss him so very much, but I\’m thankful for the time we had together. with love, your friend, Tee-Bee

Audrey, I am so sorry for your loss. Larry, was one of those people that was so much fun to be around. Telling stories and sharing his ups and downs. I know that he was always the outdoorsman and had lots of memories from those outings as well. I did not get to work directly with him until the last few years. It is always hard on any loved one\’s heart when the loss is so sudden. Much love to you and your family. Steve

Dear Audry, I am sorry that you lost Larry at such a young age. I hope that he didn\’t suffer to much. I always will remember the kindness and respect that he showed me; whether deserved or not. Larry always shared his candy stock with me including the best stuff that he had stashed away in his desk. He refered to me as oger or old fart as you may imagine. You are in my thoughts and I wish you the best. Sincerely, Denny

Dear Audrey, there isn\’t anything I can say that will make the pain go away. As you know my husband passed away July 31. I am better, but not passed the grief yet. They say time heals all things and I believe they are right. My pain is not so severe now and most of the time I can talk about Norman without crying (not always tho). My deepest, sincere sympathies are with you. Kathy Dahl

AUDREY.MY CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND FAMILY.
I`m sorry to here that Larry pass a way, He was a good person, I knew him for about twenty years before I retired Carl Tunnell
Audrey, May your many happy years and memories comfort you. I knew Larry as a happy, charming, generous, lovable brother-in-law and friend. I am truly sorry that he was taken from you and his family so soon.
Uncle Larry would always tell me about the time when I fell down on the coffee table when I was two years old. To this day when I look in the mirror and see the scar on my cheek I always think of him telling me that he was right there to scoup me up when I fell. He was so happy he could be there to comfort me. I\’m comforted to know he is with Grandma and Aunt Mary Jane. My deepest sympathies for your loss, Amy
Audrey, I knew Larry for almost 27 years and Larry was a natural as far as establishing a friendship with.

May God bless you and your family and give you strength and endurance during this difficult time. Sincerely, Ray

Audrey, Our deepest sympathy goes out to you as well as Larry\’s family. He was a great guy and fun to hang out with. (mickey)- “I can remember at management club meetings in the 80\’s, talking with Larry about the old muscle cars of the 60\’s, then one time, during dinner, we slipped out into the parking lot to pop the hood on your 5.0 liter MUSTANG. We anylized it for 20 minutes, then, slipped back in for dinner”. It\’s a great memory.

Larry was a such a role model student when he attended Computer Education Institute. He had such a warm heart and always helped follow students. Larry, you will be missed. God Bless. Hannah
