I taught and coached track with Larry at Holy Name fom 1997-2001. I was just starting out and he was always a great mentor to me. He was so kind and helpful.

To the Ream family, sorry for your loss. Mr Ream was a great man that taught others and myself a countless amount of things. I still have a Super Inch chart and tire pressure chart that I used for a long time after HN

As someone who ran cross country for him, I was responsible for putting more than a few gray hairs on Coach Ream's head. That being said, he was a good and decent man who cared deeply about his students, athletes and Holy Name High School. My condolences to Barb and the entire Ream family. Know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers...Kevin Maloney, HN '77

RIP Coach! He was my Cross Country Coach in Fall of 1972-73-74 and my Asst Coach in Baseball in Spring 1975. I had him for Drafting class as well as a Junior. and always had the most respect for him. Saw him last when my youngest Son then 16 was in a Cross Country meet for Mentor High School and HN was in it back in Fall 2004. He and I chatted like it was 1975. All my condolences to the family and God Bless ... Brian Fishter, HN '75

Mr. Ream was an awesome coach and an even better example of how to live a good life. He genuinely cared about you as a student, and later as a friend. My husband and I are truly saddened at his passing. We hope his family finds peace in all of the happy memories.
