Remembering a friend of 50 years, a man of integrity, who lived life to the fullest and his wife more than that. You are still missed, my friend.

Eternal Rest grant unto him, o Lord
And let the perpetual light 
Shine upon him.

It’s very disheartening and sad to find out on the internet my Uncle Pete passed away 3 years ago . The whole Brookshire family had no idea and would have been there to help Larissa any way we could!! My cousin found this about 30 minutes ago, July 27, 2024. He was both of our mothers brother. He was truly a loud, giving, gambling, man ! He stayed with us when he came home from Saudi on vacation. 
Larisa was such a sweet, kind woman and I’m so glad he found her!! She was such a giving , sweetheart and always spoke with kindness!! I’m so sorry for your loss Aunt Larissa !! We love you very much !!

Still thinking of my long time friend Larry "Bro Zane" , often.
Friends, real true friends, like Larry don't come around often.

I'm remembering a good man with a beautiful wife, a big heart, and a vibrant life. He was a best friend and I miss him, but rejoice in his life's journey.

A little late to here about this officially but you have my deepest sympathy for the loss. We lived with him for a short time in and near Hazelton PA in the 80s and we only saw him once that I recall in the 90s. My sisters and I knew him as Granddad because he was my mother's (Michelle Marie Brookshire) my Uncle Larry's ( Larry Zane Brookshire Junior) father.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Hanes 

Larry was one of a kind, and to be loved by him was to be truly blessed. A piece of my heart will forever be missing.
                    

Totally shocked to here Larry has passed. I met him in Saudi Arabia in the 90's and he provided me shelter and support when I was under house arrest for six months. He truly had a heart of gold.


What a loss. A beloved friend for nearly 50 years.  My wife once said: "At first I couldn't understand how you were such good friends.  He's raucous, has terrible language, and always says what he thinks. But then I saw through the bluster and he was loving, kind, and spiritual.  I got it then."
   On an island casino off Korea he was making fairly large bets on a particular number on a Roulette wheel when a house man accosted him asking if he gambled in Vegas, etc.  The wheel spun but the House man had distracted Larry from making his bet.  I thought he was going to flatten the guy when he found out that his # came up but he had no bet. He said a ew choice words but paused and said "I guess it wasn't meant to be" and then started laughing about a similar incident at a horse race. He spoke his mind but never carried a grudge.
   When he married Larisa she brought him peace and his rough edges softened.  She is the sweetest person I've ever known and a true gift for Bro Zane.  Larisa if you need anything Pease call, even if it's just to talk.
  I miss my friend .  Through the good and bad he  stayed  compassionate , honest and cheerful even when he was a grouch.  He kept the Faith.  Vaya con Dios mi amigo. Keep a seat at your table open for me.


Larisa, our deepest sympathies.  Larry will be long remembered.  Larry came from such humble beginnings and accomplished so much; the greatest of which was touching so many people with his friendship. 

I had the opportunity to work with Larry in Saudi and again later in Korea.  So many memories but the most vivid is the time Larry insisted on treating me to a crab dinner in Ulsan.  The storefront tanks had one monster, clearly the long serving advertisement for the establishment.  Larry insisted we had to have the best and argued until the owner until she realized he would not give up.  I nearly keeled over laughing with Larry in front, the old ajuma second and the crab in third, dragging along behind her on the way to the steamer.  The ajuma was using her finest insults (Korean being a good language for insults) on Larry the whole walk.

Larry, you are truly missed.

He was so good  to me when I was inn need what a lost to all of us

Larry was a much-loved part of our team on Aramco projects, who brought hard work and spirit and laughs to our lives in the crazy days of the oil & gas industry. 
My condolences to Larisa... as we say here in Thailand, the people we respect the most are those with a Good Heart... and that is how I will always remember Larry.
God bless and keep him... Rest In Peace, bro.

Laurisa,
We will always remember our time in Saudi and our trip to Cyprus.  Fond memories tobe sure.   Please  let us know if you need anything. 
Thoughts and Prayers for you and yours,
Millie and Herman Vela

Will always remember the good times, your fabulous Gumbo, and our jaunts in the English countryside with Larisa searching for antiques.   Rest In Peace my friend.  You’ll be missed.  🙏. Nancy

Larry what a guy.  We first met back in Saudi in 1978 on Aramco’s Crude Desalting.  What a time we had and all of the challenges.  Larry would always come up with solutions though.   He was a stickler with all of your people and the contractors but his department always came through when we needed it.  He was also a willing teacher to his team.  Then we met up in McAdoo PA on a Cogeneration plant which again had it own issues.  We were together from the start to finish, another challenging opportunity as we built the plant on top of a mountain with very little material yard space.  We did a lot together as Larry became a part of our family.  Then we met back in Saudi in Jubail and we (Donna and I) were fortunate to meet Larisa when he brought her back on one of his R&R’s.  Larisa is an angle as she was able to have a calming effect on him and you two made an amazing couple.  It was great that we were able to keep up and see each other through the years even when you two stopped off in Beijing for a visit.    Larry, YOU will be missed.  Fondly,  Jay Casper

We were so happy to see Larry have Larisa in his life.  She made such a difference to him.  Larry was a great co-worker and friend to both of us, and we will miss him. He had a good run and now he can rest.

We have so many fun memories of Larry. He always had a good story: his tale of the Scud at the end of the Gulf War is a classic. 

We will never see his like again. He was one of a kind.

Love to Larisa and Larry's family. 

Had the pleasure of working with Bro Zane in Korea and the US.
Larry was feisty but underneath that honest with a good heart , and great sense of humour, Always enjoyed my time in his company he was a pleasure to be around.
God bless ,May the good Lord keep you safe in his hands.

Geoff 

Bro'Zane 
Fond Memories of our work together in Ulsan, South Korea on Kizomba 'A'.  You'll be sadly missed.
