Larry Odle

Larry was such an encouragement to me when I first joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ. Whenever I went home to visit my parents, I often attended Calvary Baptist Church in Montevideo, Minnesota. Larry was always so glad to see me, and he was so thankful for the work we were doing on campus. His smile, his laugh, his love for God, and his love of life were contagious, and I've thought of and talked about him often over the years, even though I haven't seen him for decades. God's...

Larry was such a good and true friend! Our church and BYF times were very special as we grew up together in the church. We shared many, many hours of friendship over our Jr.High, High school, and college years together. I will never forget all the times we stood around the piano after Wednesday night BYF... singing hymns and harmonizing "just for fun". Larry was always full of fun and laughter... and he loved the Lord! I will miss my friend!

I always appreciated Larry's spirit and his laugh. He touched many lives. Duane Jass

Meet Pastor Larry and Kay when i was a young boy at First Baptist Church in Coon Rapids, Mn . Was very instrumental inshaping my life and just spoke of him a few weeks ago. Was sad to hear of his passing Kay and family.

We were pastors in two western Minnesota churches and we shared many times of fellowship and prayer. Larry had a caring heart and demonstrated the love of Christ to others. Kay, we pray for you and for your family. May you know the comfort of our Lord at this time.

Our paths crossed in both Minnesota and South Dakota. My life was enriched by the relationship that developed through ministry connections. Was so pleased when he was selected to serve as Executive Minister. He was the right man for that season. Heard of his homegoing while sharing Thanksgiving dinner with longtime Big Springs friends. Great to hear their stories of what he meant to them during his interim there. Gwyn and I are praying for you, Kay and for your family. Grace, peace and comfort.

Marie and I are so sorry for your loss Kay. I have many fond memories of working with him, and just fellowshipping with both of you. Be encouraged...he touched many, many lives. You are in our prayers.

Such a wonderful man and an encourager. Really enjoyed working with him in his District Exec role.
