Lawrence Louis "Larry" Herzog Jr.

Unlike some, maybe most of my C.A.P. colleagues, I did not meet Larry in the Civil Air Patrol (C.A.P.) I saw an advertisement in the classifieds section of the Courier-Journal for an open house sponsored by Wings Flying Club. I went to the open house and met this gentleman to whom some questions about the flying club and the aircraft. The following month I tagged along with the flying club members on a tour of the Louisville Flight Service Station and Control Tower located at Bowman Field....

Ruth Ann or Mamma as Mr Herzog would fondly call you when he was telling stories at the old Galene Dr Walgreens. Very nice and interesting man to work for and glad I was able to call him a friend all these years.

Condolence to the family. I do not know Larry and have never done this before for a stranger but something about his face drew my attention to his obituary. I remember reading about the civilian aircraft bringing in supplies during the Sep.11, 2001 attacks. Its good to see a face from that mission. I'm sure you, his family,are very proud of him. And I'm sure he touched many hearts during his lifetime. He sounds like a good Christian man. May you rest in Peace "Larry".

My love, thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. In working with Lisa Waring for several years, I felt like I was a part of this family. Stay close to God, and he will provide you with the peace and comfort that can help sustain you through the upcoming days, week, months ahead.

Memorial to Lt. Col. Larry Herzog KY 214
I met Larry sometime in 2002 or 2003. I had been in CAP a year or two in KY 63 Composite Squadron in Frankfort KY. My Squadron had a couple of pilots but none were CAP pilots. My Commander and I wanted us to get qualified as CAP pilots.
I decided to sit in on a couple of KY 214 meetings to find out how to become a CAP pilot. I asked several pilots what I needed to do to become a CAP pilot and received several suggestions, which did not work...

Dear Ruth Ann: So sorry for your loss. Larry was such a nice person to all and always had a smile to share. I know you will miss him greatly. Prayers for you and the family.
