I am so sorry I live out of town and I just found out today Larry went home to be with the Lord. I was the Recetionist for Jim and Larry and the Firm for almost 12 years. Larry and I had this in common he was a just Larry and I was a just Kathie! You don't see that now a days it is usually a Lawrence or a Katherine. I have told that story to many people over the years. Also I remember the day so well when I went into Larry's office to tell him I was moving to California! He threw his pen up in the air and said that's it I am Retiring! Dear Dear Larry may you Rest In Peace and I will always remember you fondly! Also my sincere condolences to his family and especially Anne. God Bless You! Kathie Hedrick

A great colleague and a wonderful friend. I grieve his passing and rejoice in his entry into larger life in God's Presence. We will be making a contribution to Bishop Kemper School in celebration of his life and ministry.

In the midst of such sadness, a freedom is born. Freedom from pain is always a first and sometimes it is the only freedom understandable. The beauty that freedom creates though, can be all but believable. In 11 revivals and being brought back to life, I do know where Larry lives now. The Bishop asked about my experience with Gloria Good, apparently he knows many who have experienced what I have and with the same descriptive. Larry will always be right next to his loves. Rest assured. I wish everyone peace. Love, Jo Waldron

I knew Larry as a model lawyer and a model law firm leader. In the profession of law, there has been no one else whose acquaintance and example has thoroughly inspired devotion to the ideals of the Bar. My sympathies to his partners, colleagues and family.

What a great mentor! He made me a better person and pushed me to embrace my faith in ways I never expected. I stepped way outside of my comfort zone and was rewarded every step of the way. Thank you Larry. You will most definitely be missed!

To a brother that upheld the standard that we were raised with. He loved his family and was a great father and grandfather. He was a brother that I looked up to and loved. He will be greatly missed

I always enjoyed EfM mentor training with Larry. Larry would wear a K-State shirt and I would wear at KU shirt. We both went back thirty years with EfM.
