So sad to hear about the passing of my good friend Lars. We had a bunch of fun flying over the years. I always enjoyed our "debrief" over a couple of cold ones. Godspeed my amigo!!

Alfa, so sorry for your loss. Didn't know either of you well, but both always wore a smile, kind and friendly. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Was just getting to know Lars thru the senior men's golfing group at Skyland Lakes. A fun golfing buddy, always had a good joke and something to eat with him. Going to miss you my Friend!

I had the privilege of seeing Lars on a regular basis for the better part of a dozen years as we played hockey with the Gators. Lars had a great sense of humor and always kept things lively in the locker room, on the ice and at the bar afterwards. We also went on two ski trips to Steamboat, once with several of the Gators and the next year with our families and I have indelible memories of each! Lars was a great teammate and as good a friend as a man could find and just the thought of him puts a big smile on my face! He leaves a large void in all our lives that is only partially filled by the deep well of memories he created here on earth. Our thoughts are with Alfa, Erik, Cory and Pam and hope that the passage of time and their memories will bring some solace in the days ahead. Rest easy Lars, you deserve it.

So sorry for your loss. Played hockey with him for years and never thought he would be gone and missed so much. Will be thinking of him.

I flew with Lars many times and thoroughly enjoyed being around him. He showed me around Guatemala several times and I always enjoyed having a beer with him.

He was one of the best!

I met Lars playing hockey in Winston when I first got here from Canada. He made me feel welcome. He was a good guy and I enjoyed talking with him a lot. I hadn't seen him in years until I played in a tournament with him this pass march and I had a blast with him as my defense man. We had some chat again and it was like we never stopped seeing each other at the rink. Sweet guy he will be missed. I'm extremely grateful to have played this March to see him one last time. Prayers to his family during this difficult time.

I only got to know Lars about 5 years ago. We played golf twice a week and I have to say I never met a nicer, friendlier man. We used to like sitting in the pro shop after golf and having a beer and talking. He could talk knowledgeably about almost anything. I will miss you my friend.

I flew with Lars many times as his First Officer for AA many years ago. He even pointed out where his home was when we flew into Guatemala on an occasion or two. He was a good Captain and a nice man and I always enjoyed flying with him.
