Sad to hear of Larry’s passing! We worked together at Don Flower Associates and then he was so helpful when I started my own Insurnace agency in 1982. My prayers and condolences to Pat and the family.
I worked with Larry for several years at Don Flower Associates. We usually went to lunch together and Larry was always generous in sharing his insight into Aviation Insurance. Larry was particularly active in the aerial applicators ( corp dusting) segment of aviation. He was a high energy broker always looking out for his clients best interests. I learned a great deal in my early career from Larry, consider him a mentor and friend. My sincere condolences to his family and wish for them peace and comfort at this time. Go with God, Good a faithful servant. Clint White
Larry and Pat were one of the first friends I made when I moved to Wichita, broken from divorce and raising 2 young children. They embraced us and my children. When he saw how crappy a TV I had, he and Pat showed up one day with a brand new TV for us.We had a lot of fun in politics and in local parades while he was running for office. He was a wonderful person and a very intelligent man. We will miss him immensely. God bless you Larry.
