How sad to have come across this obituary. Larry&Julie were two of the sweetest people our family had the privilege of knowing. It was in the early 80’s when my wife’s parents met this couple in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Subsequently they accepted an invitation to extend their visit in Hobbs, New Mexico. which is where we got to know the Millar’s. That was the first of many trips Larry&Julie made to New Mexico with their last visit in the summer of 1994 for the birth of our youngest child. In September of 2006 my job took me to Pennsylvania which gave me my last opportunity to see this most gracious couple. When I arrived their home on that Saturday evening they had prepared a feast for several and it was just the three of us. This was just one occasion of many where I witnessed how special they are/were. So many memories of Julie&Larry and we were over 1,700 mi / 2,770 km apart.
Sorry for your loss! I went by yesterday to his house! He was worried that id die leaving him without a friend to talk to but he left me! We met in grade 7 at quaker rd school! We are the same age!
Rest in peace Larry. I remember your smile from public school and how kind you were to me. My heart goes out to your family.
Rest in peace Brother!
