It was extremely heartbreaking to learn of Larry's passing. While my direct association with Larry was limited to three years during his time at Bradley University, I'll always recall his consistent good natured attitude and his sharp humorous wit. He was a skilled and talented amateur radio operator, who also enjoyed occasional general aviation flights out of Peoria's airport. He will be missed, but fondly remembered.  My deepest condolences are offered to his friends and family.

Trude, I am so sorry for your loss.  I enjoyed working with Larry and also you all those years.  He will be missed.  Melinda Alcorn

I remember Larry in Newton as a fellow ham radio operator. God bless the Reiser  family.

I always looked forward to Fridays when Larry would come to Schramm Educational Center to screen children for hearing losses.  He was great to work with and I almost always learned from him.  We had great discussions and, also, personal conversations.  He will be truly missed.  Trude, I am sorry for your loss.  Kathy Nafziger

Dear Trude,
I am so sorry for your loss, I know it is a difficult time for you and the family. I also know your devotion to God will give you peace as you navigate the road ahead. 

I will always remember Larry and the wonderful times we shared as children in NJ. He taught me how to use a bb gun and I'll never forget all the fun we had back in the carefree days of childhood. 

With lots of love,
Cousin Cheryl and family

Dear Trude and family,  I'm so sorry to hear that Larry has passed.  I have great memories of our friendship over the years.  He will be missed.  Mary Sutton

So grateful for Larry's kindness and humor if helping me navigate David's hearing impairment.  He always saw potential in everyone and guided me to see disability in that light.  The world will miss such a kind man, such a good man.

"He smiled understandingly--much more than understandingly.  It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life.  It faced--or seemed to face-- the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor.  It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."

Trude and boys,
I was so shocked to hear about Larry's passing. I always remember what committed parents you both were, Trude. And I remember the many times Larry came to my classroom as an audiologist. I always felt secure that his testing would be accurate.
My sincere sympathy is with you all. May Larry's memory be for a blessing.
