Barb and Family,
I worked as a part of Larry's group in the late 80's and he still stands out as one of the finest leaders I worked for at P&G who had a great balance to his life with the right priorities of God and his family above all else. I also remember him as being optimistic - a glass half full - type of guy who when things were not going well at work would be the first to say "we have lemons so it's time to make lemonade". I still think of Larry every time I hear that expression and remember him fondly.

Barb and Family -- So sorry to hear of your loss. Larry was one of the best managers I've ever had at P&G as his section was like a family. He was truly a talented engineer and more importantly a great man. Cherish your warm memories -- I will certainly cherish some fond work memories especially when he took the team out as family to celebrate the holidays

The entire Hahn family here in Missouri(Fred, Jerre and Dottie) send our sympathies to the family at the passing of Larry and also express out appreciation to God for having known him. The best that can be said of anyone as they pass from Earth to Heaven was that the reflection of Jesus was seen in their character and that they made a difference that will last into eternity. That was true of Larry. God Bless!

Larry had the heart of a lion, willing to take bold steps to go where he thought God was leading; and he had the heart of a lamb, caring deeply for family and friends. Most of all, he had a David-like heart for God. No surprise, then, that Larry's heart is what God took first.

Barb: our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You were so blessed to have a husband & father like Larry:

God's speed Larry. Didn't we have fun!
I can still hear you singing along with the Kingsmen Quartet as they sang "Beautiful Home" over that old Boombox hanging from a tree limb over our Lake Cumberland swimming hole.
You are Home Larry---Sing on Brother, Sing on!

I was so sad to hear of Larry's passing. He was a Great Man and a Wonderful Friend. We had many conversations over the years at WSCC and on the softball field. I always felt close to Larry and he is one of the men that helped me when I was a young father to be the best I could for my daughter Megan. Larry will be truly and sorely missed. Our Thoughts, Prayers and Love are with Barb and the family.
