Many prayers are with the Milliken family and friends. I have known Larry since we were working at the US LEC University location, and he was the kindest person and ALWAYS willing to help out with a smile on his face. Nothing but fond memories of his demeanor.

Words cannot express the love and admiration that we all have for Uncle Larry. Our family now has a void that can only be filled by his memory. He will surely be missed. Please keep our family in your prayers as this is a great time of sorrow. Larry's devoted niece, Katina.

Larry was not only a co-worker, he was a friend. Larry would stop by my desk to see how I was doing when he was fighting his own battles. That was Larry...never a fuss over him. I admired Larry for his respect and dedication that he had to his family. When he would speak of Princess and Larry Jr. it was always with love and respect and his wonderful smile. I admired him as he battled with this illness. Even when he didn't feel well he would come to work because he wanted to be working and doing his part. He was an amazing individual and will be missed very much. Princess and Larry Jr. you are both in my prayers.

First give praise to God because without him nothing is possible. Larry was a great mentor and friend. If it weren't for him, I would not have made IT a career. He was always there helping me learn how to build those micro channel pc's and netware 2 servers... that was a long time ago:) Larry you will be missed but I know that the Lord has you in a better place with Him. Rest in Peace my Brother!
