1978 1982 lhhs, he was my favorite teacher and a helluva great educator and friend I hope to see you again pritch gg

I was a friend of Linda - Larry's wife - and enjoyed a lot of fun times with them. May they rest in peace.

We love you Pritch. The Duke may be gone but you will always be in our heart.

Larry Pritchard was my friend in high school and our early 20's. We had many adventures as we tried to figure out life. We renewed our friendship at the first night of Larry's 50th high school reunion.

I just discovered Dr. Pritchard's obit and Im shocked and saddened. It's hard to imagine him gone; he was such a big, inspiring personality.
Pritch was my favorite teacher at Lake Howell High (Class of 81). He was so enthusiastic and passionate about teaching and for world history.
He was so present, relevent, dedicated.
His fellow teachers, school admin and students had the highest respect and admiration for him.
He was impactful!
