Happy Birthday (10/14/23), Larry. Miss you.

Another year without your humor and kindness, Larry. You are missed and wish you were here.

I miss both Larry and his wife Janna. They were the most kind and giving people I have ever known. 

Larry you are forever on my mind as I age my way to join you.

Frank,
Thank you for taking time to write the tribute. I remember him tell me about your visit and how much he enjoyed his time with you. You are right about his quirky sense of humor and your reference brought a smile from me. Guess it is in the genes because I too have been described in those terms. I still have not come to terms with his loss and often pick up the phone to call to get his advice. He was one of a kind, glad he was ours.

Just found out that Larry had passed away, and, belated as they may be, I extend my condolences to his family and friends. I've known Larry since the late 1960s, when we were stationed at Bergstrom AFB in Austin. We kept in touch over the years, and the last time I saw him was in the late 1990s when I was in Austin for a historic preservation conference. He gratiously gave me a tour of the city so I could see for myself how much the city had changed since I left in 1974 after graduating from UT. Indeed, that was something else Larry and I had in common. It wasn't too long after that that I learned that his first wife, Janna, who I also knew for a long time, had passed away. I will miss Larry and his quirky sense of humor. Times like this put us in touch with our sense of mortality.

Missing you so much. The pictures brought back a lot of fond memories of our trips together. I had to laugh as I remembered those times. I don't know why I am still here, your are gone as is Lilly, Mother, and now your Dad. I hold you in my heart and look forward to when we are together again.

Always in my heart and mind, can not wrap my brain around his passing. One day we will be together but in the mean time he lives in my heart.

I always thought that we would grow old together like we did in life. My childhood was greatly enhanced by our life together. Every time I hear a large sound in the basement at Dad's I think that is just another of your inventions. Then I remember that you are not there but you will always in my heart. Our many escapades continue to bring smiles as does our vacations together as a family. Love you brother.

I was saddened to hear of Larry's passing. He was an integral part of the Austin Delphi Users Group and he will be dearly missed. My sympathy to friends and family.

You are light now
  dancing upon the air
      whirling with an accordion shadow
  deft and strong pushing
      the giant hammers of chrome
   snowy planks and monumental ebony beams
   making music sweet and slick
    singing, deep and covered in
  the soul of happiness

  You are no longer heavy with}
        the sorrows that you carried
the things that you have seen
       and said goodbye to
 you are pitch perfect

       the acoustics are divine
over the clouds and in
     the luxurious riverbeds go
and all will feel though never
   see your emancipated glow

It's because of Larry, whom I didn't know well, that I play mandolin and am learning banjo. Since his death, I've learned quite a bit more about him from Paul - what an amazing guy! He'll certainly be missed by many people - I'll always have fond memories of him.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Larry's death. He headed our little group, the Austin Delphi Users Group (ADUG) of which we had both been members for over fifteen years. Larry always had time for good conversation. He enjoyed our company, and we certainly enjoyed his leadership. Larry took pride in being informed on a wide range of subjects, especially in relation with computers, and he both educated and elevated those around him, not only with his information, but with his enjoyment when someone learned in his presence.

Larry was a good friend, and I will miss him very much.

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was a dear friend and president of our ADUG computer group. I very much looked forward to meeting with Larry and the other guys each month. Our conversations would often stray from the narrow confines of geekdom into the world at large. Although we may not have solved any of the world's problems, we certainly gave most of them a good thrashing! The beautiful music selection for the memorial evokes memories of Larry's kind and gentle nature. Hereafter, this song will bring a smile to my face as I remember my friend. -- Robert Clark

Larry was always full of good humor and cheer at our monthly meetings.of the Austin Delphi User Group. We started as a large group of programmers, learning how to improve our skills, & wound up as a smaller group of fast friends. Larry was our president and we will miss him greatly.

I was Larry's first baby sitter. More like a playmate since I was a huge 10 years old. Every summer from age of 10 till I think I was 15.
Along came Ricky & Greg.........We had so much fun together.
Larry is sorely missed by me, now and forever. He was my computer
geek.  I have enjoyed seeing the pictures and have memories of most of them.

I had the pleasure of knowing Larry for 44 years. He was my friend and my brother-in-law. In all of those years, I never heard Larry speak unkindly of anyone. He was devoted to his family and known for his kindness. He had a keen interest in the sciences and we often had talks concerning various subjects until my eyes glazed over listening to his detailed explanations. I will sorely miss Larry and the world will feel his absence.

Beautiful website. Love the photos of your father.
