Lawrence McMillan Obituary

MCMILLAN Lawrence "Larry" Gene McMillan passed away at his home March 15, 2012, after a long battle of cancer. His father, Lawrence G. McMillan, predeceased him. He is survived by his mother, Naomi McMillan, sister, Judy Wimmer (Howard Wimmer) and his two nephews, Eric Wimmer; Andy Wimmer and his life partner, Ila Smith. Although Larry had many interest in his life, there are two that he loved the most and that was flying and his love for animals, mainly his horses and dogs. He has many friends who loved him and will always be remembered as a kind hearted man. At his request, he will be cremated and a memorial will be held at his Ranch in the Flint Hills of Kansas on Labor Day weekend where he will be honored by his friends and family. All donations in his honor are being made to Camp Wood.

Unfortunately, I just learned of Larry's passing and would like to say that Larry was an inspiration. Our chapter of Pettifogger's has lost a true leader and innovator of our profession. We have lost a great mentor.

I'll always remember Larry for his tall tales. He told them so often I think even he started to believe them!! Nothing like a good laugh at one of McMillan's exagerated stories! Never knew if that guy was serious or pulling your leg.
