He was a wonderful person and the kids loved him and learn a lot from him .

Larry was the best coach and motivator.He would light up when he would see me or my brothers because we were very good runners. He showed us lots of respect and always shook our hands. Coach Safarek trained us to be very good runners, and we won the cotton bowl relays with my brother,Tony, at the last race with the last winning points. That made Larry very happy.I remember watching him play among the Harlem Globe Trotters, he played very well! He made a three pointers mid way court. Ill never...

He made men out of us and respected him very much!

A genuinely good man! He earned and deserved all the respect of everyone he met. We need more like him today!

Larry was an outstanding coach and even better person. His dedication and work ethic were exceptional. The Taylor and Thrall communities were truly blessed to have experienced his leadership. Our prayers are with his many friends and family.

Another great one has left us.
Condolences to the family.
