Not sure what to say?

Dear Reeves family: Larry taught on the same teaching team with my mom, Lois Byrom, for many years at Mt. Garfield Middle School.

In every memory I have of Larry, he has a smile on his face. He brought out the best in his students and his fellow teachers.

His love of the outdoors was infectious. The 7th grade team’s annual hike up the side of Mount Garfield was created to motivate the students, but the hike also motivated my mom. She was determined to keep up with...

Larry was a great teacher, I had him in 7th grade, and my kids had him at Mt. Garfield. I really admire his ability to reach his students.

Mr. Reeves was a phenomenal teacher and always taught with guidance and respect. My prayers and thoughts go out to your family in this time.

Ryan,Patricia and all;

I am sad to hear of Mr. Reeves passing. He always did what he could to teach us science so that we would enjoy it, he took care of us.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this time.

My condolences to the Reeves family...Mr. Reeves was my 7th grade Science teacher many moons ago. I remember my 7th grade camping trip, I had a blast & I learned a lot from him..he was an amazing teacher. My heart goes to his family.

I was on the dive boat that picked up Larry...There were 5 army rangers who did all they could to revive him after we pulled him out of the water...I wish his family his best.
