My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to Scott, Todd, Brian and their families. I also want to pass along my condolences to Uncle Larry's brothers and sisters and the entire Luetkemeyer family. I am so blessed to be a part of this family and to know that we have each other to lean on in times like these.
Many memories bring a smile to my face when I think of Uncle Larry and the times spent and stories told at the old family farm and at Camp Busche. He will be missed!
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow!

Please accept my condolences. I worked with Larry for over 25 years. He was a fun loving guy and will be fondly missed. The fun we had a Management Club get togethers can only be left to the imagination. Pat, please accept my personal condolence to you directly. Both you and Larry contributed immensely to my formative career path and I will never forget those contributions and feel so blessed to have gotten to know both of you. May God provide every family member and friend of Larry's, HIS peace and comfort through this most difficult time. Larry my old friend, may God speed you directly and I will see you on the other side!

To "The Luetkemeyer Family" ... I worked for ALCO (Flow Controls) for many years (43) and knew Larry for many, many years" and what a great person ... always most kind and such a "bubbly" personality. He would refer to himself as a "bean counter" and just always had something nice to say ... a positive person in some difficult times (oh those Planning Conferences that required lots and lots of hours to achieve "ready to print and put the books together ladies". I didn't work in the Accounting function but Manufacturing Engineering. I have many happy memories of Larry and the joy he brought to his fellow workers but I will never forget many years ago when he was "crunching numbers" and I was working late too and he was coming down the long front walk (dark, snowing, and bitterly cold) and saw be cleaning snow off my car and insisted I get inside and he would take over ... I left with I don't believe one snowflake on my car. What a great person and he will be missed by many and of course me too!
