Larry was a lifelong friend, and I will mis him very much.


I was one of the many who worked with Larry at BFOR!  He was always a key member of the team that got us up and running to be the best "division" of Bridgestone in the world!  
I always liked and respected Larry!  He is missed and always will be!
My condolences to you and your family!

What a great guy to work with. He approached everything with a realistic viewpoint of accomplishing the desired goal. A great sense of laidback humor. When he quit smoking I told him that Philip Morris would have to lay off a shift. He laughed! RIP, Old Boy

Faye & Family,
Cindy and I are so saddened to learn of Larry’s passing.  I had the distinct pleasure of working closely with Larry for the formative years of our development of Bridgestone/Firestone OTR (BFOR).  He was not only instrumental in the launch and successful operation of that business, but perhaps one of the largest supporters that helped keep the Bloomington factory alive until we could scratch and claw together enough investment to make it a stand alone success.  His quick wit, hard work and love of his family come immediately to mind.  Our sincere and deepest condolences to the family, prayers for their comfort, and for the repose of Larry’s soul.

So sorry to hear of Larry's passing.  I worked with him in various roles when he was in Nashville, Des Moines & Bloomington where he always kept us all in stitches. His subtle sense of humor will be greatly missed.  My condolences for your loss.

I hosted Larry when he interviewed for his job at Firestone in 1980.  He was a great guy; I loved working with him.  I am so sad to learn of his passing.

So Sorry to hear of Larry's passing.  He was a great guy and we had a few laughs while he was at 'corporate' and at the Des Moines plant.  
Our prayers to all the family.  God Bless You All.

Faye and family,
Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time!  Larry was a great guy and the best boss I ever worked for.  He helped me keep things in perspective and was always willing to give us advise when we asked.  He always talked about his family and was looking forward to everyone coming together for Christmas.  He will be missed!!  May God's Peace be with you!!

I had the privilege of working with Larry at Bloomington and Des Moines. Larry was a class act with a dry sense of humor. He called himself a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. The world is a sadder place without his humor. Our prayers are with his family. God's piece

We moved onto the same street as Larry two years ago. We noticed right away Larry had the nicest yard in the neighborhood. He took meticulous care of his home. He was always friendly to our family, he always smiled and waved when we went by as he was always outside. We are so shocked and saddened by the news of his passing.  We will miss our neighbor Larry. 

Dear Neighbors, We are so sorry for your loss. May god bless you with comfort at this time of great loss in your family. 🙏🏼

I worked with Larry for many years and took an annual golf trip with him to Florida for 10 years.  Always fun to be around and I appreciated his self deprecating sense of humor.  Larry was never full of himself and cared deeply for his friends.  When he made you his friend, you were his friend for life.  I will miss him.

Faye,
We are so sorry to hear about Larry...
His natural gift of warm hospitality even on unexpected drop ins, always eager to stop what he was doing & make a cup of coffee or share your dinner, is something we will always be thankful for & try to model/carry forward.
His warm smile & big heart will always be remembered & missed by many!
He was so very proud of your boys, Collin & Craig...  So may it comfort you all to know that he’s now with Woody & Sammy as they watch over you...
Hugs to you all,
Pam & Alyssa Ivy

Larry, my friend you will be truly missed.  We had wonderful times together at work as well as playing golf on Saturday mornings.   Your humor and great wit was a welcome distractions when things were difficult.  Again, you will be truly missed.  


So very sorry to hear about Larry.  Sending hugs and prayers to his family.  Larry was a huge part of our lives for many years. Even though we only spoke a few times a year since retirement, the conversations were always full of family news, gossip and just a good time.  I will always miss Larry and those phone calls.  Rest in peace my friend.

My deepest sympathies! Larry was a great man who cared for his colleagues at Bridgestone. I appreciated his quick wit and wisdom along with his sense of fairness. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Larry was a very dear friend to D.J. and myself.  He was a very caring individual and we will miss him   Know that he is surely with God and will be waiting for you at Heaven’s gates. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Faye, and your entire family. Let me know if I can do anything at all or if you need anything.

Faye and Sons

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Larry was one of the kindest, funniest and most enjoyable people i ever had the honor of working with at Bridgestone. I saw him several weeks ago during his golf trip to Tennessee and reminisced about our golf days at Prairie Vista Golf Course in Bloomington with Bill, Mark, Kirk, Ralph and Monty. Larry’s passing leaves a huge void in our lives but i also know he leaves all of us with fond memories and feeling honored to have called him friend.
