Larry and I worked together in the laboratory at Eastman in the early 1970´s. He was always fun to be around and full of ideas. Over the years I have wondered about Larry a lot. I wish nothing but peace to his family. Goodbye Larry!

He was one of the first people I encountered at Eastman in1972. I survived the encounter and so did he. He was an excellent technician who taught me a lot about industrial chemistry and other things. Always fun to be around. We will miss him greatly.

I worked with Larry on and off throughout many of his 33 years at Eastman He was an absolutely great worker, and I always enjoyed our projects together. We also got to know one another pretty well and stayed in touch even after he retired. Granted, we didn´t agree on everything, but we respected one another and got along just great.
He loved his family, and those grandchildren and great-grandchildren were near and dear to his heart! I know he loved them all so very very much.
Hopefully you can take comfort in lots and lots of happy memories. May God grant you peace in this difficult time.
