Larry was the smartest, funniest, critical thinker that I have ever known.  Knowing and working with him was a joy.  He was one=of=a=kind, and the world is a less colorful place because of his passing.  My sincere condolences to Donna and the rest of Larry's family.

Larry was a good friend and made work fun! He was one of the smartest guys I have ever met. We had some memorable trips to Missoula, Montana and at sales meetings. One of my favorite memories of Larry is doing some training for the Walker Survey folks in Indianapolis. On the ride back, we had the sun roof open on the blue Lincoln Continental, singing along with Rolling Stones tunes blasting! That car was the first time Larry owned a car made in the same decade he bought it! Of course, the Stones concert at Soldier Field with Donna and Beth (our girl friends and spouses!) was a lifetime highlight.
You left us too soon, Twooms, but rest in peace!

To Larry's Family:
During my short tenure at Nalco, I admired Larry from afar. He is one of the major Pulp and Paper Legends. His creative contributions will be remembered by many.

Donna,Larry will be missed by many good friends he made over his years on this earth.We all have our memmories that will alst forever.Our prayers are with you and your family.   David and Susan Johnson

Larry had a zest for life, was a very bright and independent thinker, passionate about his beliefs, and added a great deal of fun to the lives of his friends and colleagues.  I am so happy that he got to enjoy many years of retirement.
He will be missed by all of us whose lives he touched.  My deepest sympathies to Donna.

Larry was the smartest and most creative contract negotiator that I have ever  known. I had the office next to him for the last 5 yrs of our Nalco careers, and many times I was blessed by his insight and good humor. He made other people look smart! We will miss Larry! We wish his family well and our prayers will be with them.

Larry was one of the brightest profesionals that I ever worked with. He taught me many things about business and more importantly how to enjoy life and have fun. Many great memories with Larry when I lived in Upsate New York and then a newbie in Nalco marketing. He will be sadly missed.

Larry, 

Thank you for taking such good care of me when my parents were gone away. Our late night walks together will be greatly missed. My Mommy and Daddy will look over Donna and Neidra. Say "HI" to Murray.. God Bless.

Larry was the kindness and most thoughtful person I ever met. I enjoyed working with him at Nalco. His smile was contagious, and it was a joy to be around him. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Larry's prior experience grew Nalco a great deal. We all learned from him. And his positive attitude was a real plus. He will be missed.

I will never forget this 'wild and crazy guy'.  Time with Donna and Larry was always an adventure full of smiles.  It is good to remember that Larry knew how to get the most out of every day in his too-short life!

I will never forget this wild and crazy guy!  To spend time with Larry and Donna was always an adventure loaded with smiles.  I cherish these memories even more now.  He knew how to make every person feel like you were his priority, even if only for the moment.

Donna and family,

Larry will be very much missed. His personality stayed with all of us even after leaving Nalco. The times we all had together!

I am very sorry for your loss.

Best,
Marla Crill Heller

Sending thoughts of love and comfort to Kendall and Jake at this difficult time. Our prayers are with all of you.

Larry and I spent many years working together at Nalco and through those years we had many laughs.  He was always there for support and advice and always with a big smile.  A wonderful guy who enjoyed life and his family.  I will miss him but those great memories will always be there.

Larry was always there to help out and give suggestions or just a big smile to help lighten the day.

Larry was a great friend and mentor. He showed me the way through the marketing world at Nalco, and he will be greatly missed.
