Dear Rose Ann and Family,

	I was thinking about Larry and you today, contemplating how nothing can replace the love of your life, I know that…but, I truly hope all of the wonderful memories you’ve shared together over the years will help ease the pain of loss as time goes by.    

	 Larry was quite the man; Rose Ann, you must be so proud of all of his life’s accomplishments.  I know he once said that O’Brien-Kreitzberg was the highlight of his professional career; I think most of us felt that way.    I always enjoyed seeing Larry on the occasions when he would come to San Francisco to handle business; or when the two of you were at our company get-togethers and such.  He spoke beautifully, would tell work tales, and asked a lot of questions.  His sense of humor was better than most, and his smile – that smile - pure Larry!  By the way Rose Ann, your quick witted humor was always a match to Larry’s little remarks, that’s one thing I remember too.  

	All the best to you as you carry on; Jim and I send our love to you and your family.  One of these months it would be lovely to spend some time with you.

Warmest personal regards,
Laura Coffman


A recent trip to Denver allowed us to reconnect with Larry and Rose Ann.  Having not seen them for over five years it was opportunity to reinforce our professional and personal relationship which originated at Carter& Burgess in the late 90’s.  Larry although slowing down, was full of life and eager to discuss any topic especially his beloved family, Denver and his extended professional relationships.
He and Rose Ann were eager to show us many high spots around including the previous Hazzard homestead in the hills and the local buffalo range encouraging our possible relocation to Denver area.  It was an inspiring trip and one which will not be soon forgotten by any of us.  A highlight of the trip was our visit to amphitheater at Red Rock.  Larry’s love of the area was evident as we strolled through the area.  The unbridled love and affection between Larry and Rose Ann was also evident.  With Larry’s passing, the photos from that trip are particularly poignant.  Larry was a true gentleman, a friend to all and a mentor to many.  He will be missed, not only by family but all that knew him.  Our condolences to the family, especially Rose Ann.      

When Larry and Roseann bought their condo in Santa Barbara, it was instant friendship. Larry’s quiet smile/Roseann’s open smile - a common midwestern background and ties to Colorado made them more than neighbors. Walks along the bike path, a glass of wine or breakfast at the beach are good memories. They both were so generous - especially to me. My condolences and sympathy. 

Dear Rose Ann and Family,
We want to express our deepest condolences at Larry's passing. His was obviously a life very well-lived, personally and professionally.  Lawrence (as we always called him) was seemingly always present in my -- and my sister Terry's -- growing-up years in our close-knit community of Edgeley, ND. Were she able, I know Terry would be very saddened at the loss of her lifelong friend.

Larry was a friend.  He treated friendships wholeheartedly just like he treated everything in his life.  We grew up together in our small town along with a small group of others.  We were very happy to add spouses to our group, and Larry received many congratulations for finding and marrying Rose Ann.  We stayed friends and in contact for these 70 + years largely because of Larry.  He was the driving force in the group,  arranging get togethers whenever he felt it had been too long.  Our last gathering was 9 months ago.  I’m so happy we all had that time together.

Rose Ann and Family:
We are sorry to hear the news and are very sorry for your loss.
As you all know, Larry was a very talented, knowledgeable, jovial, smiling, fun-loving Teddy Bear who would never let a chance for a debate pass.
Many, many, many great memories and lots of laughter with your Kansas City Family.
One of the greatest car pool race car drivers of all time!!
Our deepest sympathy!
 


Larry was one of my favorite people to work with. He had a passion for what he did - he loved the consulting business. He knew his clients, he respected and mentored his co-workers, and he made a difference everywhere he went.  I had the privilege and pleasure of working closely with Larry on many projects and will always remember and cherish that time. He taught me much - most importantly to love what you do and to share that enthusiasm as often as you can. My deepest sympathies to everyone that loved Larry - he is very missed. 

RoseAnne and family,  

Burrel and I are very sorry to hear of Larry's passing. We were unaware of his struggle with Parkinson's and Cancer. 

We remember so many good times with you two and we will miss him so much. We will not be able to see you this weekend but our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. We hope to see you in the near future!

Rose Ann, my condolences to you and the family.  Larry was a wonderful person and a great mentor to me.

I first met Larry some 12 years ago when he had “retired” and was looking to do some “part-time” consulting.  He was easy to talk to, had a great perspective on the engineering business and really wanted to introduce me to the countless people he knew in the business.  I got to hire some of those people into Stantec and subsequently work with them. Larry knew his people and the people he said should be hired really were great people.  But Larry didn’t stop with bringing good people forward, he was constantly working with me and others coaching/mentoring and generally sharing his wisdom and pleasant conversation. He really wanted to see people succeed.  Thanks to Larry many of us became better at our jobs while having some fun along the way.  I will always be grateful for what Larry did and will miss him.  He really made a difference.


Dial and I are so sorry to hear of Larry's passing.  He was an inspiration to all who worked with him, and a positive joy to know personally.  Although we've not been in contact recently, I think of him often when reflecting on my career; he was one of the real highlights.

Rose Ann, Julie and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss.  Larry will be missed tremendously - both personally and professionally.

He was a great mentor of mine...guiding me through my career since the 1990s.  I learned so much from him about how to be a professional in the world of infrastructure design & construction...lessons I continue to apply to this day.  I especially enjoyed our time spent after work as we strengthened the bond of team members over food & drink...and, of course Larry shared life stories that we all enjoyed.

I continue to work solving public transportation issues in CA...one of his passions and in one your homes away from home.

Miss you folks and thinking about your family as we celebrate Larry's life.

Sincerely, Jared Moore
   

Dear Rose Ann, Julie, Janet and Teresa. my heart goes out to you and all the people who loved Larry. I count my lucky stars we had you as our neighbors when we moved to Colorado. I have this one memory of Mr. Hazzard giving us kids all a dime and saying “Don’t spend it all in one place” and then we went off down to the shopping area to spend those dimes!  We were so excited to tell him how we did with his challenge and he laughed and was very proud of us.  If I’m remembering that wrong it doesn’t matter because his laugh and kindness  will be in my heart forever.  What a legend! 

Larry was a caring and creative leader and a great mentor to many of us. I cherish the professional and personal advice he gave me during our time working together. It is an honor to have known him and his family . I wish you the best in this difficult time of your loss. Larry will be missed - but always remembered.
