Larry, you have been a great support for Morenci's MineSight systems for years. The last time we met at Minexpo I said I hoped to see you soon in Morenci. But this is the next thing I hear. Very unfortunate news. But what can we say? It is the Lord who gave and He who had taken away. I'm thankful for the few times we met. May He be with you, Larry.

It is very difficult to say something, I was shock about This lost. I considerer Larry as a friend and a mentor. I have lucky to work and learn from him, and truly this is a big lost for all that we meet him. Larry will be in our memories.

My condolences to his family for the unfortunate loss of Larry, I had the pleasure of knowing him for about four years and I can only emphasize the positive aspects of his work and personality, always caught my attention the energy he put into their work and I always thought that with only the half of his force probably I could have finalized many things that each day I left pending. I hope that Larry take care of his family and his colleagues from the heaven, because his presence will be greatly missed by all us.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of Larry. I knew him many years ago he was a very sweet man. Rest in peace Larry. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Rest in peace Larry, you are always in our heart. Thank you very much for every things you have done for helping me.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Larry's sudden passing.  I've known Larry for over 20 years and it was a privilege to have worked with him.  He was a dedicated professional whose contribution to Mintec and the mining community was immeasurable.  He made a huge difference to those he worked with.  My heart goes out to Marta, Megan and Melissa.

I knew Larry for a very short time having shared time with him in Las Vegas when we were both attending the Mining Show there. Larry was a fun guy and we enjoyed our time socially as well as during the show with a lighthearted view of the world in general. I was saddened by the news of his death and my thoughts and sympathies go out to his family and friends.

Marta,
We're so sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I only  met Larry 14 months ago, after joining Mintec. He was a preacher on the products he managed and  most of all,  he enjoyed sharing his knowledge and a good laugh.  My prayers  for his soul and my condolences  to Marta and his daughters.

Marta, Megan, and Melissa;  sending prayers for comfort and strength through this shocking and difficult  news.

I know Larry through the Mintec seminars that I have attended since 1990. Two things were standard - Larry would deliver a presentation on the latest enhancements his team brought forth in mine operations and more importantly he was the smiling fixture at the annual Mintec golf tournament. Larry was the consumate professional and all who knew Larry had high regards and deep respect for him. I know we in Canada who venture down to Tucson will certainly miss Larry and I offer our condolences to his family.

Larry was a great guy and will be deeply missed. He had a great capacity for work and was a positive role model for others. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Larry's family.

I have many good memories of visits to Tuscon and Larry was always part of them.  He was always there to help out and to share a laugh. With my golfing skills laughing was essential. A fantastic guy who will be very much missed by all. My thoughts are with you Marta and family.

One word sums up Larry. Passionate. From work to home to politics. Whatever he talked about he could always present his case with backup and information. It was always informed opinion with Larry. He was a practical, problem-solving engineer who just wanted to get the job done and to help the clients get their job done. That was one of the marks he left at Mintec. Sure, he didn't suffer fools, but he knew more about operations and their use of software than almost anyone, so he had the right.   
I am grateful for his blackjack lessons on some of the road trips we took. Never sit at third base unless you know what you are doing, or the rest of the table will hate you. And never split 10's.  I did that once with Larry sitting next to me, and after telling me I was an idiot, he did the biggest spit take after I hit an ace and a ten on the draw.
He left a very big impression everywhere. I could tell from the service the other day – he touched many people. He got a heck of a lot done, loved large, and will be with us all forever. 
Marta, Megan and Melissa – we are all tremendously sorry for your loss.

Marta, Megan, Melissa & Keith
I am so sorry for your loss. I was deeply moved by the fantastic tribute to Larry at the Service. He has truly made a difference in so many peoples lives. That will never go away.  I am honored to have had the opportunity to know him and feel privileged that he shared some of his precious time with me. Marta, I also want to Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with me over these past few days. In a time like this, I don't always know the right words to say, however I want you to know how much you are Loved and that many people care deeply for all of you.

Larry was a great guy and a fantastic host. In my many visits to Tuscon, Larry showed me the sights and we had many vociferous debates over a beer. Larry had a big engine for work and that was coupled with a capacity for ideas. He visited us in Australia on business trips and we enjoyed his contribution and company. All the best to Larry's family.

It goes without saying that 50 is too young. 
All the best to his family

Simply put, Larry was a good guy. Always open to sharing his knowledge and providing guidance. I had the opportunity to work with him at Mintec where he was a mentor to me.

I have had numerous occasions to work with Larry during the last twenty years. Because of my job-related travels, I had not seen him for several years, and today, as a matter of fact, I was shocked to hear of his sudden passing.  He certainly leaves a void in the mining industry where he was widely known.  I offer his family my most sincere condolences for their loss.  May he rest in peace.

I only have fond memories of Larry through our high school years together. His love for his family was his priority. We offer you peace, love, and hugs as offerings at this time.
