I know Larry passed a few years ago but I just saw this obit after a search for him. He was a great man. Kind, caring, generous of spirit. I met him as a teenager who lived with a very difficult father. Larry took an interest in me, listened, talked to me and made a difference in my self worth. I never think of him without smiling. God bless Larry wherever he is now and thanks Larry. Your friend, Paul Mirkovich

Larry made a major impact on my life as a teen. It's been 36 yrs since he was brought into my life by Paul and was there for me thru very hard times. I will always carry the memories of his kindness and good heart with me the rest of my life. My condolences to the family.

Just wanted to send my condolences and say that even though it's been around 55 years since I've seen Dr. Barr, I still remember him and his wife when I went to HT when I was five/six.

Diane, Dennis, Phil and Steve (and the rest of the family, grandchildren I never met, etc.): I am so SO sorry for your loss. I learned so much from Larry, have so many wonderful memories, and am so sorry I did not have a chance to see him more recently as I'd hoped. My heart goes out to you. Cousin Phil Berns
