I worked with Larry at Questar long time ago. He was always a gentleman and willing to help. Full of life and fun to be around. All the good ones are leaving.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Larry. I worked with Larry at Alta Air Conditioning. The one memory I have of Larry is each time someone would walk into the warehouse he would have his feet up on the desk asleep. He is a great man that will be missed. May god bless all of you, my prayers are with you all at this time.

I worked with Larry for many years at CHVAC Supply after he retired from Questar. Larry was a great friend and and respectable individual. We spent many hours at work together, and many hours after work golfing together. Larry, myself and a few others would go on golf outings to many great courses in the western U.S. It was with Larry, that I gained a greater appreciation for the sport, and learned to further respect my elders.
I lost track of Larry over the years after my move to St. George UT. Although we remainded in the same industry, I worked for 'the competitor', which always draws a bit of a line in the sand. I'll never forget the many great and memorable experiences I had with Larry, and the fine way he conducted himself no matter where he was. Always a gentleman and a respector of others. It has truly been my pleasure to have known him.
Larry has returned home. He has been reunited with his family that has preceeded him in earthly death. He smiles and wraps his loving arms around those who remian here for another season...
May his family be blessed with comfort, and the knowledge that families are forever.
Larry, please dont wear your 'Christmas Goose' sweatshirt in heaven... LOL
Much love and admiration,
