Mr. Munger was one of the few educators who could really reach students. He was a model educator and a great asset to those who had the privilege to be in his class. Great person all around. He will be missed.

Mr Munger was one of the great teachers in my life, and being a member of the class of 68, that covers a lot of time. He will be missed by all.

Mr. Munger used to let me conduct experiments in the teacher's prep lab. One was study I conducted using hamsters involved injecting them with HIGH. He was one of my favorites.

Mr Munger was a brilliant and inspiring teacher and this came not only from his immense knowledge of the Biological Sciences but also because he cared so much for his students and put real heart and soul into his teaching. He created a lasting love of learning and science that I continue to have 29 years later. Although this is a difficult time for his family please know without any doubt that Mr. Munger truly made a difference to many, many students and in making that difference made the world a better place too.

Larry Munger definitely left this world a better place. There is no finer man and educator than he. He has inspired many and and will continue to live in the hearts and minds of those whose lives he touched. I am proud to say I was his student at NKCHS , class of 1968. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Mr. Munger was by far my all-time favorite teacher. He inspired me to major in Biology in college, when I had originally planned another path. I will never forget him. I was his student assistant in 1974-75, and I used to run down to Benny's BBQ and get his sandwiches for lunch! He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Mary Lynn and Jean, I will never forget my early days as a young teacher at nkchs. Larry was a consummate teacher, friend, and mentor. I learned so much from him! There wasn't a student who he did not like and who did not like him. I will always have fond memories of him. I am so sorry for your loss, you are in my prayers. Sincerely, Lou Otto

Earl, It was a pleasure knowing your acquaintance both at St. Andrew's & earlier at N.K.C. High School. I had Mr. Arrington (The Mad Scientist) as my biology teacher, but your presence in the the early 1970's was well known. In later years I reconnected with you at St. Andrews. Even though some years had passed, you were the same man, which is a great testament to your humility. We never saw you in a bad mood. You were always approachable and had a kind heart to all.
The French say it best. Until we meet again.
Sincerely,
Mary Jo & John Hopkins

Mr. Munger was more than a teacher. He was a friend, mentor, innovator, cheerleader, and positive thinker. I have never known a more powerful teaching example as he was always in a good mood and ready for whatever the day brought. I will miss him dearly and appreciate having in my life first as a teacher and then as a colleague. I am so sorry for your loss.

I was always jealous of the kids who got his class. I had math right next door and it seemed like a party was happening every day. Now, I work with kids and I know laughter and learning are a prefect marriage. Well done Mr. Munger. The pales you filled are too many to count.
