Lawrence Fredrick Scalise

Larry was one of the greatest human beings I have known. He was also one of the kindest and most compassionate souls I have ever encountered. Our projects together were a blessing to me. I will forever recall Larry's smile and the two words he liked to say most, "Thanks friend".

I loved him so. Wanted them to adopt me. Looking for Tammy. I am at 850 753 6295 or. [email protected]

Oh my God! I just heard of his death! What a wonderful man! A wonderful great man. He helped me with some issues, he didn't care if I could afford him or not he was there and helped me. One of the best individuals I have ever known. I was blessed to have known him. There are not enough good words to say about this truly wonderful person. God bless this man!

Molly and family. I was so sad when I heard of Larry's passing. I just found this website so I could read the obit. It is so true, that he made anyone he met feel like family. I loved knowing him and meeting the girls and seeing you again Molly while Larry was in DC. He left quite a legacy.

I hope you are all doing well, I know how much you must miss him. That unfortunately is what happens when we lose someone who was so loved and admired.

God bless and keep all of you.

Molly and family, Michelle and I are so sad for your loss. Larry was truly a great man and a compassionate human being, who left this earth a better place than he found it. I am greatly indebted to Larry for his guidance.

Molly, I have just learned about Larry. It is hard to believe - I remember going to your wedding. My, where does the time go?
I have been in Sarasota, Fl since 1999. I don't have an address to send a card, so I hope you see this. I wish you and your family peace at this difficult time. Larry was the best - professionally and personally and leaves a remarkable legacy that you can be proud of. Love always, Mary (Drew) Blakemore

Larry, Good man, Good friend, I'll miss him.

To Molly and the Scalise family, it is with great sadness that we learned of Larry's passing. He was a very warm person of whom we had the upmost respect for. We loved his humor and his gentleness. May he rest in peace. You and your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Our condolences to the Scalise and Lemus families. Rick Crook and family.

Just learned of Larry's passing after a long bout with cancer. I first met him when I joined the Delta Upsilon Fraternity at the U. of Iowa back in 1954 and stayed friends ever since. My hometown was Santa Barbara and we often got together when he came out to visit, linking up together again when he and Molly moved there in 2000. He had many favorite eating haunts around town and loved sharing them with my wife and I whenever we came to S.B. I last saw him when he came down to Apple Valley to visit for a day or two, but we kept in frequent contact afterwards through calls to Des Moines and S. B.

Pat and I miss you, old buddy.

Just now read Sunday's Register and learned of Larry's death. I was a member of the law school class of '58 and followed Larry to Des Moines after our graduation for a little while. While our political views were not the same, he was an honest hard working AG, and a credit to our profession. The entire class, reunioning again in September, will miss his humor, energy, and good will toward all. Rest in peace.

Friends since High School. My roommate at Creighton 1952-53, my freshman year and his second year before he transferred to Iowa Law School. One of a kind. Rest in Peace, Roomie! Jim Caterine

RIP Larry.....

So sorry to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May he rest in peace in the company of Our Lord. Raul and Alina Silvestre

I grew up next door to Larry in Des Moines, IA. We shopped at his parent's grocery store across the street. I last visited with Larry when he was AG for the State of Iowa. Larry and his family were real class acts. May he rest in peace.

Many memories of how Larry touched the lives of my family from my brother Alan Abright, who considered Larry one of his best friends, to my sister Sharon, who considered him a wonderful friend. Lucile, now 105, always loved talking to Larry and using his advise. Too many to mention, a special person in lots of lives. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Molly and family..I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I will never forget the special times we spent together and all he had done for myself and my family. He will be extremely missed. The smile that would never quit and the love that would never leave. My heart is saddened. I wish you all the best. Tim and Linda Scaglione

To Molly and the family.... I knew you both for such a short time but loved every moment we spent laughing and telling stories. I do have a picture of us together and I will cherish it. Blessings to you and your family. All my love and faith is being sent your way.
