Mr Larry Charles Smrz

I worked at Morgan Co Hospital with Larry and he was always so
helpful and willing to go the extra mile.
He will be so missed.
Your family is my Prayers.

I had the pleasure or working with Larry many years ago at Hinsdale Hospital. He was a dedicated Blood Banker and loved to argue BB processes, politics, sports, etc.
Though I had not seen him in many years, my last memories are of him in the BB at Hinsdale Hospital shaking tubes, and writing down his reacions.
My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. He will be remembered. May God comfort you as you mourn Larry's death.
Sincerely,
Estelina Galva-Burgos

What a loss...I have known Larry for about 5 months. I will always be indebted to him. He was on the interview team which hired me...I had not had blood bank experience since my basic training thirty years prior. He felt he could adequately train me for my weekend/nights position and he did just that! Thank- you Larry. I will also miss Larry. He always made me feel important and needed. I will never forget he stated that my personality

I will never forget he stated that my personality did not fit my shift at work. He said I was too much of a "people person" to
work by myself. He was always eager to answer any questions and encouraged me to call him any weekend at Clarian North. I am a Christian woman and recognize an Angel...Larry. All Angels used to be men. To my co-workers and Larry's family, from the Bible, Poverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto your own understanding...In all thy ways acknowlege him, and he will direct thy paths"

I was only able to work with Larry for a short period of time while at Clarian North, but he left a lasting impression on me. He always greeted me with an "I'm so glad you're here!" Then, when he left for the day, he would say, "Good night!" even though it was 7:30 in the morning. The half-hour in-between was filled with either conversations about his children, or stories about Larry in his younger years (all while working simultaneously,

I was only able to work with Larry for a short period of time while at Clarian North, but he left a lasting impression on me. He always greeted me with an "I'm so glad you're here!" Then, when he left for the day, he would say, "Good night!" even though it was 7:30 in the morning. The half-hour in-between was filled with either conversations about his children, or stories about Larry in his younger years (all while working simultaneously, of course). He was a kind, intelligent, and jovial man who was proud of his children and proud of his work in the laboratory. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

My prayers goes out to the family of Larry always talked to him on the phone when calls up results. This is so sad and I will keep his family in my prayers GOD BLESS YOU

The AABB staff will truly miss, Larry.

To Larry's family and co-workers,
Words cannot express how very sorry I am about Larry's untimely passing. I will always remember him as a kind, warm-hearted man who loved his family above all things. Larry was one of best Medical Technologists I was ever honored to work with. His knowledge and mentorship will sorely be missed by all who knew him in the Laboratory Medicine field. Please accept my heartfelt condolances.
