Larry Dondlinger

Miss you Larry still think about you often especially at the bowling alley.,.. you were awesome and a true champion. You would be so proud of your daughter and her beautiful family . it will never make sense.

Miss you Larry!

Miss you and often think about you on my drive home and how I can no longer just give you a call and debate an issue or two.

It's been almost a year and I still cannot believe Larry is gone. He was a wonderful man who had many friends and one VERY special daughter. I will never forget him and will never forget our friendship and the good times we shared.
I'll see you in heaven my friend.

Melissa

I met your father through Match.com and even though it did not work out between us, I found him to be one of the most interesting people I had ever met. He was a smart, hard woking individual who truly loved his daugher.

Sincerely,

Nancy Nelson

Sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I only knew him for a short time while I worked for Hillsborough County Public Schools, but he was a kind man with enormous talent and patience. He will be missed!

How sad to hear of Larry's passing. My dad and Larry were close friends from the early days of Lawson and I have many fond memories of my childhood being at Larry's house (I even have a permanent scar on my knee from when I fell down his stairs while playing with his dog!). As I grew older I didn't see him much but heard about his stories & antics through my dad. You could always count on Larry for a good joke, but he also had a warm & caring side. It's because of that dynamic personality that he'll be remembered & missed. My deepest sympathies & regards.

Dondlinger Family,

I was so saddened to get this news tonight. I worked closely with Larry for about two years at Lawson from 2001-2003. We traveled to several client projects together, did good work, and enjoyed dozens of meals and an occasional drink or two together. I enjoyed Larry's company, mentoring, and his sense of humor. I recall Larry being a very proud father and sharing kind advice when I had my first child in 2003.

Dondlinger Family,
My deepest sympathies. I had been corresponding & talking with Larry over the last several months. We had yet to meet face to face, but had wonderful emails & phone conversations. I always got a kick out of his updates on NWA flights and food. My job responsibilites are catering for NWA.
There is not much else to say but the memories you have of his smile, laugh & dry humor will help ease the pain over the coming months.
Best of luck to Betsy & her husband on their upcoming adventure.

In Peace
Robin

To the Larry Dondlinger family,
Larry was my coach at Lawson. He was easy to talk to and gave good sound advice. He was always the first in line to help out. When the consultants no longer had cubes in the St. Paul office, he packed up my office cube and shipped the boxes to my home in MT for me.
I will miss him, his freindship, and his humor.

To Larry’s family:

We worked with Larry at Lawson and appreciated his commitment to his work and his clients, his willingness to learn, and his humor. We are very sorry to hear of his sudden death.

There is little we can do in the face of this tragedy but we hope you will accept our sympathy.

Sincerely,

To Larry's family and loved ones, my most sincere sympathies and condolences to you all on your loss. I worked with Larry for about a year on a recent Lawson project, and enjoyed his company greatly. I would like to have known him longer; he was a good guy.

Dear Melissa and Family,
Please accept my sympathies. There is so much to say yet I am at a loss for words. The world will be a little sadder and more lonely without Larry's sense of humor. He was loved for his generosity, his wit, and willingness to listen. Larry was a proud father. He spoke of his family often and I feel I know Melissa though we've never met. My prayers are with you.

Dear Melissa and the entire Dondlinger Family,

As I write my memories to you regarding your father, son and brother, my eyes swell with tears as I have lost a very dear friend and co-worker.

I have been fortunate to have worked with Larry for the past year at Hillsborough County public schools. We often spent our spare time in joking and sharing our parts of our lives with each other these past 12 month. One of my fondest memories was to hear what he was planting in his garden or to hear about his skiing week end with his family. Know that he loved each and everyone of you in his own special way.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Melissa, his mother and of course his extended family. Know that he was loved and admired by all.

Please feel free to call or contact me.

A friend of Larry's

To Larry's family and friends,
I was honored to be able to work with Larry, who was so generous with his time and knowledge. He joined our Lawson Certification team as soon as the invitation was announced. He shared our passions for furthering knowledge and skill, all in the spirit of friendliness and integrity. He would often stop by with a great smile on his face, just to say, "Hi." We will miss him.

Dear Dondlinger Family,

I only worked a little with Larry during one of my Lawson projects, but he was so generous and open that I felt included in the “full-time” group. I will miss him! My prayers go out to you during this difficult time, but I know that you have many wonderful memories of him to cherish and see you through. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the Dondlinger family and friends,
I am thankful I had the opportunity to work with Larry at Hillsborough County Schools in Tampa, Florida. I greatly admired Larry's patience, professionalism, and fun spirit.
In the days ahead, may you find some small comfort in your many happy memories.

Dear Melissa and the Dondlinger family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time. We worked with Larry at AgriBank and bowled with him at league and in tournaments. He was a very talented man, in sports, in gardening, and at work. It was obvious that he was a proud father and I'm sure you all knew his generosity as we did. He was always willing to share his knowledge at work, to share bowling advice (which never helped me much!), and to share the fruits of his gardening. My cats especially liked it when he would give us home grown cat nip for them to enjoy. Our sympathy to the family - he will be missed.

Dear Dondlinger Family,

My thoughts are with you all.

Larry and I worked together at AgriBank over many years and on many different projects.

He was a great co-worker with a fun sense of humor! A smile comes when I think of him!

Dear Melissa and Family, my prayers go out to you. I worked with Larry on and off on the current project in Tampa. He is guidance and fun to work with. He certainly will be missed by us all.

Larry was always a kind and gentle man. He brightened many of my days with his sense of humor while we worked together on an implementation in Washington, DC. He will truely be missed by so many. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

I worked with Debbie a long, long time ago and met Larry several times back then. I didn't know him well but in reading all the things people have said about him here, I remember him being just as they say....a fun guy to be around. I'm sorry to hear about his passing.

Dear Dondlinger Family,
Prayers and thoughts go out to the family of a special man to all. Larry became a friend, as well as a great consultant for us at the School District of Hillsborough County. He was full of knowledge, and yet so humorous. He loved talking about his cross-country skiing and looked forward to going home each weekend during this time to enjoy his sport. He truly will be missed.

To Melissa and Dondlinger Family,

I worked with Larry many years ago at AgriBank. I will never forget his pleasant demeanor, his kindness and the way he always made me laugh. He spoke often of you, Melissa and was very proud of you. Though I hadn't seen Larry in quite some time, I often thought of him throughout the years with fond memories. Larry was truly a "good guy" and will surely be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time.

Prayers for the family as you grieve the loss of your loved one. Larry was one of the most exciting, interesting and fun personalities I have had the pleasrue of working with. God be with you all as Larry receives his rewards for a life well led. We will miss you Larry. Especially the emails I could always count on to make me laugh.

My prayers go out the family and friends of Larry. I had worked with him at Lawson and found him a very helpful and friendly man. He will truly be missed. He was such a gentle soul and possess a world of knowledge. Larry always made time to answers our questions and send a little humor our way during a difficult day. May his spirit rest in peace

Dear Dondlinger family, I worked with Larry, on a project down in Florida for 12 months. Larry always made me laugh. I have noting but fond memories of him…like the time we were trying to beat each other to the office to see who could get there earlier. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will often think about him with a smile on my face.

While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. ~John Taylor


I thought this was a great quote as we all felt Larry just wasn't our co-worker, but our friend. I was Larry's manager and I can say he was a wonderful, loved guy! I am certain he is enjoying his time skiing in Heaven! Holly Perreault - Lawson Software

My deepest sympathies to the Family and Friends of Larry Donlinger. I too was shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden passing. Hard to believe. I worked with Larry at Lawson on a few projects and back in the Bloomington office. So many people and coworkers thought of Larry so highly, as a friend not just someone who works for the same company. That says a lot about the kind of man he was. He will be greatly missed.

Melissa & Family, I worked with Larry at Agribank. I was his supervisor for many years and he had a great work ethic and humor. He was always ready to volunteer, such as paint-a-thon projects or work assignments. His sense of humor was unique. One example: I was scheduled to be out of the office for a week and I asked him and Joe Kolstad to alternate every other day in running the department. Larry requested that he take the first day to supervise the department. I asked him why. Larry responded so I can eliminate Joe's position. He was always thinking.
He will be in my prayers.

Dear Dondlinger Family,

My heart goes out to you. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Larry's death.

Larry and I worked together at AgriBank for 15 years. We were great friends playing racquet ball volley ball, softball and darts.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will miss Larry very much.

Joe Kolstad

Dear Donlinger Family,

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to you at this difficult time. Larry was a gentle man and a good teacher. He will be sorely missed. May the peace of God be with all at this time.

I've known Larry for as long as he has worked for Lawson. I will miss him. I also live real close to Larry and I received some of the first potatos out of the ground when they were ready! What a great gardener! I wish his family peace and strength during this difficult time. Larry was a good Man and he will be missed greatly by many.

Dear Dondlinger Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I had the priveledge to work with Larry on a personal basis within the past year. I was happy to call him my friend. He had a big heart, a sense of humor, and many friends at Lawson. I will truly miss him.
Sincerely,
Manish

Melissa and family.
I worked with Larry for years at Lawson Software. We spend many a week flying back and forth to San Francisco. He was my gardening mentor. In fact on Monday he sent me a note reminding me that it was six weeks to planting time. My deepest sympathy to you. He was a joy, a quiet simple man with a sincere love of life. Best of all he always made me smile. My God's peace and blessings be with you in the days ahead.

To the family and friends of Larry, all our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May his memory comfort you all, Pam Hendriksen - Hillsborough County Public Schools

I first met Larry when he came to work for Farm Credit (AgriBank). I worked with him and for him but most important, we were friends.

I remember when Melissa was born and I am still amazed at how much hair she had...such a beautiful baby. Larry was a very proud Dad.

Our special moments were at the bowling alley. We bowled together in the bank league for many years and in many tournaments. In addition to being a really good 'competitive' bowler, his sense of humor kept us all smiling. He will be dearly missed.

Dear Donlinger Family,
I truly feel privileged to have had the opportunity to know and work with Larry during the past year. Larry had a wonderful sense of humor, and was a great team member. I will miss him very much!!!

I worked with Larry at Hillsborough County School Board, Tampa, FL. He was great to work with. His sense of humor was great. Such a gentle person. He will be solely missed by everyone.

My thoughts and prayers are with you now and the coming days and months ahead. May God's Peace and Grace be with you.

With deepest sympathy,
Kaye Johns

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I had to the opportunity to establish a friendship as well as work with Larry. He was upbeat, humorous, full of laughter, and spoke often of his daughter. He was a great person and I will truly miss him.

Stephanie Heaton, Hillsborough County Schools

Dear Melissa and Family,
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Larry on multiple projects. He was not only a co-worker but also a dear friend to me. He will be greatly missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Melissa and Dondlinger family,

Larry was my coach at Lawson. We spoke often, he will be greatly missed. He was so easy to talk to and very giving of his time and knowledge. This is a very sad time for all of us here who knew him well. My prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

While God holds you safe in the palm of His hand, He will send angels to help you stand, I will remember your family in my prayers. Larry was my friend and we often talked about the places he'd visited and places I would like to go. He suggested Beale Street and Five Guys Famous Burger & Fries! Larry was right about Five Guys and I plan to visit Beale Street in 2009. He will truly be missed.

I feel privileged to have known Larry. He was a great guy with a good sense of humor. He will be sorely missed by all of us at Hillsborough County Public Schools. The world has lost someone truly special.

My deepest sympathy,

Melissa and family,

Larry was more than a co-worker - he was also my friend. I really grew to appreciate his passion for work and his wonderful sense of humor. We spent a lot of time together and there is already a void. As much as I miss him, I know that you miss him more.

Please know my prayers are with each of you during this difficult time.

Scott Renstrom

He was always willing to help out in any way and I enjoyed his company in social settings. He will be greatly missed. I will continue to keep your family in prayer. "Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted" Matthew 5:4. May God bless you and comfort you at this time.

From the Project Team at Hillsborough County Public Schools: Our deepest sympathies to friends and family of Larry. We will never forget the Gentle Man we knew, loved and worked with for many months. He will always be in our memories and prayers.

Dear Dondlinger Family,

My heart goes out to you. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Larry's death. Too young!

Although I haven't seen Larry in many years, just thinking about him warms my heart and puts a smile on my face. We knew one another at Farm Credit/AgriBank, and I remember him for his wit.

Blessings on you as you adjust to life without him. He is alive in your hearts and memories.

With my thoughts and prayers,
