My sincere condolences to Coach's Family. I came to Byron in 1990 and seemed as though Larry was always present at Byron events. I got to know him through the Byron Park District, Softball and Byron High School Baseball where his positive influence on young athletes will be his legacy. Those who knew Coach are blessed.

To the Spaulding Family
Larry was a great friend and mentor to our sons. He was always available to help them with baseball. You could really tell he loved the game, it was in his heart. This is one guy we are going to miss around town and in the Byron School District. Take the loss of your Dad one day at a time and remember you have friends here whenever you need them.

To Mr. Spaulding's Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Spaulding's passing. He was a devoted teacher, coach and role model for countless kids in Byron. I have many fond memories of him from the classroom, playing field and the community. I knew him from the time he first came to Byron in the mid-60s when I was 5 or 6 years old. His loss is mourned by many, but you can take solace that he influenced everyone he came into contact with.
With my prayers and condolences,...
