Not sure what to say?

I just learned of the passing of Larry yesterday. I went to school with Larry at Del Valle High School and stayed in touch with him through my time at UT. I then lost touch. He was one of the kindest yet funniest people I knew. I extend my deepest sympathy to all of his family.

A picture of the man I was honored to call daddy.

Vickie, Shannon, Lori and family, I wish you peace and comfort. I will miss that man so much! He taught me so many things and often compared our personalities (I guess because I am so outspoken and full of mischief like him :-). We all know he was one of a kind. He gave to so many, including me and I will always be grateful. Love and prayers...

Though I only knew Larry for a few years, it was his sense of humor that I will remember most. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Vicky.

There's really no words to say, just know you all have our Love & support. We have all valued knowing all of you over the last 4 years--Larry, Vicki, Lexey, & Beamer too. We are so sorry for your loss.

Larry always treated me very good and we had so many wonderful conversations over the years. Me and him did not always see eye to eye but he challenged the way I viewed leadership. He cared more about his employees than any boss I ever knew. Larry will be missed by many. Larry was a legend in the Credit Union business, he used tell me so many stories about when he started in the business repossessing cars. He started at the bottom and made it to CEO. Amazing stories. There are so many...

I went to High School, (Del Valle) with Larry. He was a great High School mate. We will all miss him. I'm so sorry for your lost and our prayers are with the Family, that God will give you strength in these painful days.

A great man. RIP

Larry Strong was one of a kind. I was privileged to know him as my boss and my friend. He made his mark in this life and will not be forgotten.
