Larry Best

Sorry to say I didn't really know him. However from all of the amazing and warm comments, he must have been a wonderful person.

I had the honor to work with Larry,
(Uncle Larry to his friends) for many years at Taylor Hobson In Illinois.
Larry was the type that would always stop whatever he was doing to help you if asked. He forgot more about computers than most people know. We all enjoyed his unique sense of humor, mine is similar, that is why we got along well together.
You could always count on Uncle Larry for help with your computer.
We missed Larry the day he left work, and we miss him more...

God speed!

Here's a copy of the eulogy I wrote:

Larry Best June 21, 1938-February 7, 2008

Larry Best was a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. Larry, through no fault of his own, fell into and became a welcome and loved member of our family for over thirty years. We will miss him dearly. Larry and his brother Jack at parties never met a vodka bottle they didn’t like. They were two of a kind and they would not want us to cry but to laugh and celebrate there...

Eulogy as read at funeral service:

We have come here today to mourn a death but perhaps you could join me for a brief moment in time to celebrate a life.

Let us celebrate the life of a good and decent man. A good a decent man named Larry.

Larry was many things to many people: a software engineer, a metrology expert, a wiseguy, a movie critic; this list could go on, but Larry needs not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life.

Larry needs to...

Larry was one of a kind. Every one that knew him will truly miss him!

My Dearest Uncle Larry,
I will miss you very much. I know you are in a great place with Granny and Grandpa and I hope you get a round of golf in with Uncle Jack. That would make mom happy. Love Forever,

We will miss your spirit.

We are so sorry to lose a neighbor on Rose Petal Drive here in Tipp City where he lived. Our heart goes out to Sandi, his children, stepchildren and all his relatives.
