So sorry to hear of Larry's passing.
Such a kind and wonderful man.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

What a wonderful man Larry was to us all, and how he will be missed. Chris Jay

Vylna, the world will be less fun with his loss. In the last years of flying it took 2 of us to get it up and down but we always had a great time.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Larry on the Alaska Native Heritage Center project. Larry was a man of character and integrity. Our business lunches together were always memorable.

Dear Vylna and familly :
It has been an honour to become Larrys friend.
He has left deep possitive marks in our selves .Gentle , generous ,and up to his end a strong character ,an alfa male throughout his life.
He donated his marvelous bear trophy, to the Chile Natural Museum, where it will be in permanent exhibition for the future generations, in his and Vylna's behalf.
Our deep condolences.
Juan and Patricia Schiller
