Know that Larry made a profound difference in the way he lived, laughed and loved
A brother to all, and the finest of men
His spirit lives on in all of us lucky enough to know him

Your brother, always

I awoke from a sleep with larry swimming through my mind.Hadn't seen him for some time. A search on the internet lead me to this Page.
I'm so sorry to hear this news.
I used to play in bands with Larry back in the late seventies and early Eighties. He was a true prince and a brother.A man with integrity and solid humility. My condolences go out to his wider Whanau.
Rest in piece Larry

Larry will certainly be missed around the basketball scene in Canterbury. The Staff at CBA send our condolences to the Thompson family.

just heard about larry's passing such a friendly, neat guy. I knew the family from Clyde Quay School in Wellington where they ran a takeaway shop in Mount Vic, causing Larry to become very popular! Seriously though he was always popular. It seems like yesterday we were all running around that playground. I hadnt seen Larry over the years but heard that he had done well. My thoughts go out to his loving family. Mary Lloyd nee Ringiao, Wellington

I am in England and somewhat stunned to see that Larry has passed away.
I remember appointing Larry to Papanui High and shared a lot of time with him as he developed the marae both as a teaching and cultural unit.
my deepest sympathy to you all at this sad time.

Rest peacefully Larry! Xx
