Larry Morrison was my phys.ed. teacher when I was in 7th grade @
Washington Jr. High. When I was hired in Sylvania in `72 he recognized my name. Incredible memory, our paths crossed numerous times over 50-60 years. What a fine, classy gentleman, true role model.

My Deepest Condolences to Mrs.Morrison and family,
Larry was always nice & professional to me as a young Black Basketball Official over 35 years ago and was very vital in me being selected to work Ohsaa Basketball Tournament Games over my career and always assigned me games in both of his leagues (GLL& NLL) and always respected me for my community involvement in NW Ohio and treated me as a human being as well as becoming friends over the years. Rest in Peace Larry
