Larry was one of my best friends in College. He and I along with Jon-Jon made a cross country trip from Michigan to California. Those experiences I have carried with me through my lifetime. I fortunately saw Larry three years ago and we visited his club and had a fantastic remembrance session. His smile was infectious. He will always have a place in my heart.

I know Larry only though the eyes of his sister Peggy, who loved him dearly. I remain grateful that such a man served his country so well and was so sorry to hear of his passing.

Larry Hawkins fostered my love of public service; he was my mentor, sage and counselor. His love of country (48 years in a wheelchair without complaint) and contributions to our community are legend. When he was a county commissioner, I was his executive assistant. He taught me political science, the art of negotiation, the joy of living, and how to see past even the most enduring obstacles. I will always be indebted to and will forever miss my dear friend, Larry.

I met Larry on several occasions to discuss local and state political issues and always found him to be open minded and considerate of others. RIP Larry

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. We worked closely for many years at the Dade County Commission...and then were friends as neighbors at Deering Bay. We chatted only a month ago in the dining room and reminisced about our past endeavors and challenges. I always admired him and will miss him...very much.
