Our lives are so much richer for knowing and loving Larry. He was a man of honor and values. His absence will be felt by many but Heaven is far richer now. We're so thankful for memories of our time with Larry and Arma. Dick and Betsy Conner

I didn't know Larry well but we had roots together in Idaho. Played golf with him at Mesquite and enjoyed it all. He was a great guy, he is really missed at Mesquite. Sincere sympathy to his family.

Larry Looney was one of the good guys. He had been a friend since the early days if the of the first Cece Andrus administration in Idaho state government. Larry and I worked on state government projects as well as those outside the workplace. He was always a high calibre gentleman. My heart and prayers go out to Arma and the family at this very sad time.
