Mary My deepest sympathies for your loss to you and family. I worked with Larry as photographer at STLCC and always enjoyed his company. When I see Larry's photos from gas light square and building of the college I realized how great of a photographer he was. Truly his efforts will be a look into St Louis past. Jerry Seegers

To the Kuban Family,
My deepest condolences.

I worked in the same building with Larry at Meramac. He was a mentor and source of guidance and strength in my late teens and early 20s. I remember him fondly.

DEAR MARY, CHRIS and ALL:
Just a note to convey my prayerful sympathy on your dear husband, dad, civic leader and Master Photographer LARRY KUBAN's passing!

As a photographer/mentor and fellow air military guy (I'm a USAF officer) who knew the StL area media, LARRY was without peer. He was a great guy as well!

His leadership of the City of Green Park in its formative stages will also be remembered in the local history books. He handled those leadership challenges with effective diplomacy and direction--particularly in his unique role as Mayor of a recently incorporated StL municipality.

May God Grant LARRY Eternal Rest with Him, and all of you consolation. You are remembered in my prayers!

Sincerely,
Max Kaiser, Jr. USAF

Dear Bob and Family,
I remember Larry as a student in high school. I also remember him as a photographer at the same time. He will be missed by all, including his Riverview Gardens H.S. Family. We remember our own and pray for his soul and his family. He's someone of whom his family can be proud. Our deepest Sympathy...

Larry was a GREAT buddy of mine for some 35 years. We served together in CAP, and if anything was outstnding, it was how he helped the Cadets. He was never too busy to help them We worked side by side and I still am amazed on the talents he had, and shared.
