John M. Larkin

My best and most respected teacher I have ever had while I was in LSU during the early 1970s. I also had the pleasure of renewing contacts with Dr. Larkin, May Allah Bless His Soul, during the period of 2004 - 2015, when his step-daughter had a plan to visit Doha, State of Qatar. From my heart, I say that I have learned so much from such a wonderful teacher and human. A treasure to mankind, with his respectful manners, and his ability to communicate with humility.

Condolences to Dr. Larkin's family, fellow professors, and friends! Dr. Larkin was my microbiology professor when I attended LSU in the 1980s. He was a wonderful professor, always making difficult subjects attainable. I absolutely loved his class, and he inspired me to attain a PhD and become a professor myself. I commenced with a Bachelor of Science from LSUHSC- New Orleans, School of Nursing. I worked in cardiology at Ochsner for many years; while my husband completed his anesthesiology...

Dr. Larkin was my favorite teacher/professor of all time. He is the reason I fell in love with Microbiology. He made it so interesting just off of his notes! I will always treasure his teaching.

He kept his good looks for 84 years! Hope he was feeling as well as he was looking until the end...
Good luck to the family ...
Sincerely,
