Larry Lee Hohnholt: a Saturnite and friend to many
A tribute from the Saturn & GM Engineering teams.

The hundreds of Saturn and GM friends, who worked with Larry, collectively extend sincere sympathy to his wife Holly Sue and the family, and all who mourn Larry's passing. May the Love of God surround you especially during this time of sorrow.

Larry was a much respected member of the GM team. He had a very special talent for discovering the best in people and then nurturing their special talent for the good of the program, the team, and the individual.

Larry was a professional who mentored, encouraged, and was good friend to many. He demonstrated by his personal example that the competitive pressures of the automotive business could be kept in check when integrity, humor, willingness, and appreciation were added to one's daily outlook. These represent some of the special gifts that Larry so willing gave to so many of us.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Holly and the Hohnholt family. Larry and Holly have been our only neighbor for nearly 20 years now. We will miss seeing him out in his yard doing what he loved and especially our fence line chats.
