I was saddened when I heard the news of the passing of your father and our former neighbor. To this day, I can still hear that deep, baritone voice. Our family's thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. You have many friends you can lean on if you need it!

Mary Jane,
I got to know Larry over 52 years ago. He was a kind and compassionate man and he cared deeply for his family and friends. Larry was probably the smartest one of our special group in the Army. I loved him like a brother. I will miss our frequent phone calls and emails.

My condolences to the entire Bahr family. I knew Larry for many years when he was the IBM CE for Monsanto and at that time I was in Computer Operations. He was a favorite of all the computer operators and it was a wonder that he ever got any work done. Whoever's computer was down would talk his arm off and he would do likewise. He was a lot of fun. The last time I saw Larry was around my retirement about 15 years ago as I was leaving 'G' building. We only talked for a few minutes but I still remember it. Same old Larry.

Some of my favorite childhood memories include the Bahr family, and Larry in particular. I will never forget the Halloween that he wore a toilet seat around his neck so he and my dad could take us trick or treating! He played a lot of pranks on 228 Flesher! My heart broke when I heard that he passed. My prayers are with you all.

Uncle Larry, loved that last card game but probably because I finally won. (With Grandma and Mom's help no doubt.) Your sarcasm and stories will be missed. You were a good guy and will be missed more than you know.
