My sincere and deepest sympathy to the Scoby family. I had the pleasure of working with Larry for many years at GHS. His kind and quiet-manner served many students well. Larry always set a good example and he cared about his students. His was a life well-lived.

You were one of my favorite teachers at GHS. Thank you for teaching me Spanish. I loved your classes (I, II, & III), which is more than I can say about my other classes. Rest In Peace, Mr. Scoby.
