I remember Larry from Berryhill and later when he worked for Tulsa Police. When he was a programmer for the City, I saw him everyday. He was such a fine man and we had some interesting discussions. I always admired him. Remembering Linda, Mary and the rest of Larry's family in thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. My family lived across the street from the Brannon's for many years. My brother and Larry were close friends from grade school through high school and I have fond memories of the escapades those two would get into. Larry was so well liked and was a very good student at Berryhill. As the years passed, we moved out of state and lost touch with Larry. But I know that he was a kind and gentle soul and that he will be dearly missed by his family and friends. May God bless you, Betty East Scott
This is Sunday night in Houston Texas. My name is Lou Arce'. I just saw the notice on the death of Larry. To his family I give my condolences. Larry, Mike Seymour, Dennis Smith and myself spent many hours together working traffic in the early 70s. We had so much fun and many laughs with mishaps that we turned into fun. Great friend always had a smile. Larry would always tell on himself, and we would laugh, sometimes very hard. Again my condolences to all of the family.Lou Arce'
Larry was my first best friend. I remember the day we met. We both walked into Mary Wade's first grade classroom to enroll and it was clear neither one of us wanted to be there. But, I guess I thought if that kid over there can do it so can I. I quickly learned that he was smarter than me, but that didn't stop me from trying to keep up with him. He was always older (five days!) and more mature than me and he always seemed to have his life mapped out. I remember when we were about twelve and my sisters were taking us to a movie. One of them asked Larry what he wanted to be when he grew up. He quickly and confidently replied, "a professional accordion player." Well, we all glanced at each other, but we didn't doubt that he would do it because he always seemed to know what he wanted in life. It seems like a very short time back when we threw a Mitch Ryder tape on the eight track and took his 58' Chevy to the lake so we could discuss what we were going to do in college. We lost touch as we got older, but somewhere in the back of my mind I always knew he was there if I reached out to him. The world was a better place with him and is a poorer place without him.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Larry at the Sunoco and then HollyFrontier refinery since approximately 2005. He was a kind and gentle man such a pleasure to work with. After getting to know him I discovered that we both enjoyed cycling, we begin to ride our bikes over lunch of the workdays. I spent many many hours and miles riding with Larry, he was a wonderful man! He talked of his boys all the time and his grandson, in fact his passwords for the many systems that he maintained at the refinery were almost always some variation of his grandson Skyler's name.I will truly miss him!
