Lawrence Alan Farber

Janet Knudson
My life was upended by Epilepsy at 12 yo in 1959. Working with Dr Farber was a godsend from that time forward. He made this very young girl feel like she wasn´t abnormal. It´s been a long journey but made so much easier by his knowledge, patience and persistence. Seizure free since 8/8/1971. Count my blessings for having Dr Farber in my life.

My condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Farber. I had seizures as a child and was lucky enough to have had Dr. Farber at the Noran Neurological Clinic in Mpls Mn. I am now 55 years old and have been seizure free since my teens. I owe it all to the skill and dedication of Dr. Farber.
I have been recently referred again to Noran Neurological Clinic for an eye/head issue and I happened to stumble on an article mentioning him and felt the need to say "Thank You" for a job well done. I am sad to hear of his passing but his legacy lives on through his patients, clinics and photography.

To the Farber family, I hope you know what a truly wonderful physician your husband and dad was. He was incredibly compassionate. He had such an easy laugh and a spark for life and learning. He treated me as an adult and at the same time, he sounded like a dad talking to one of his kids. You are so very fortunate to have shared your lives with him. Just as I'm sure your lives are so very sad without him.

It has been three long months, I miss you so.Love, Seija

Dear Seija, Kristina and rest of the family, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.

We´ll always remember the day when we met Larry and all of you at Härmä.

Kristina and family, we are so sorry for your loss.

Seija, oli ihanaa, että ehdin tavata Larryn käydessänne Suomessa ja muistan aina, kun sain Larryn Jutasta ottaman kuvan kehystettynä. Voimia sinulle ja perheellesi,

terveisin Anne Rasivirta-Kivimäki perheineen

Kristina and family, so sorry for your loss. May you find peace from the comfort of family and wonderful memories.

Dear family,
I was sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was a great man who taught me a thing or two during my time with your family.

Dear Seija and family,
I am sorry that I cannot join your family and friends in celebrating a life well lived by a magnificent man. He touched the lives of so many people. May time ease your sorrow and memories fill the void in your hearts.
Fondly,
Carolyn Abramson

Dear Seija, I am so sorry for your loss, and for ours as well. As a Humanist, Larry was very much appreciated and loved. All of us at HSGP will miss his presence.

Seija,
I am so sad to hear of Larry's passing. I have wonderful memories of you and Larry being gracious hosts of salons and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of them. I remember Larry as a person who cared about people in the community and shared his knowledge and enthusiasm in a delightful way. Lee Klose

Seija, Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of great loss. We enjoyed visiting with Larry at the Noran's on a few occasions, enjoying his humor and wide knowledge of many topics. May your wonderful memories of your life together, along with your faith, carry you through the difficult times.

In a long carrier as a photographer and teacher, I have met hundreds of people coming from varied backgrounds and approaches to their art. Larry stands out as one of the most talented and dedicated. But above all he was among the finest human beings I have had the pleasure of knowing. I will miss him: looking at images, drinking wine while listening to Schubert’s Trout Quintet, or just prying into his marvelous intellect.

Thank you, Larry. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I feel only pain at losing you, but I will carry you forward with me, all the lessons I learned from you, my dear friend and mentor. You were always something of a superman in my life, a great role model, whose brilliance, kindness, love of life, generosity, and humor served as inspirations as I came of age. I will miss you. I love you.

Larry you were a remarkable individual. You will truely be missed. Your love for life was infectious and enjoyed by all you touched. Your passion for learning was inspiring, and your generosity was beyond compare. I view some of your images every day on my wall and am honored to have them. Rest well.

Seija,

Larry will be missed by all of us who knew him. He was a bright star, always ready to help another. I have received several nice messages from those who knew him, but were not right here in Phoenix.

With our love,
Marilyn & Serg

Larry, your humor, knowledge, and photographic ability will be missed by all of your friends and family. You fought a valiant fight against a formidable foe, cancer. Rest in peace.
