Best Wishes to the Miller Family. I worked at Miller Toyota after my wifw left me and took my kids, within a month of that I lost my job with the Red Cross make 45,000 plus. 1st and only job I couls find was selling Toyota's. I was very very bad at it but Larry's son Greg was an Angle on my side have me hope keep on the books so I could pay my child support, 1 yr the Miller Family helped until I was able to stand on one leg. Today I am remarried in the SLC Temple Bishopic and I would NEVER have any of this without that Family. Best Wishes. I still suffer form deppression but I no im not a long. God BLess

So, what if.... | 3:47 p.m. June 16, 2008

I wish Larry a speedy recovery. I have a question...I assume that when Larry finally passes on the ownership of the team would remain "in the family", meaning the Jazz would still remain in SLC? Maybe that is a quesion nobody here has an answer to...but I am curious. I mean, if they can clean up the NBA and call the games straight up, I may want to watch the Jazz again.

Come On Larry!!! We want a full recovery...Follow doctor's orders, but don't take their pills. You're needed in this complicated world. You're a good, giving and helpful person...Loved by a whole lot of people of all walks of life.

Greatest NBA owner | 6:08 p.m. June 16, 2008

Is there a NBA franchise owner greater than Larry H. Miller? Jazz fans should be proud. Get well Larry. You are the greatest!

Great owner | 6:30 p.m. June 16, 2008

Get well Larry... and take care of yourself! Do yourself a favor and hire a "health assistant"... spend some of that well earned money on making sure you're around to enjoy it - you deserve it!

Thanks for being such a great owner and so community minded.

Jazz Fan | 7:08 p.m. June 16, 2008

Can I have your courtside seats when you kick over?

Larry's Cupcake | 7:46 p.m. June 16, 2008

Time to lay off the donuts Larry. Diabetes and obesity go hand in hand.

There are some pretty tasteless comments posted here. Best wishes Larry Miller. I hope you make a full and rapid recovery.

Softball teammate | 8:47 p.m. June 16, 2008

Larry take care of yourself. You are a special person and we need you around for a long time.

Henry Drummond | 9:08 p.m. June 16, 2008

I think for some of us it requires something of a wakeup call to start doing the things that need to be done to keep yourself healthy. I was shocked when my doctor sent me directly from an examination to the emergency room and told me my life was in danger. I have made a lot of changes over that time, things I should have done long ago.

Good luck Larry. Listen to Greg and take care of yourself.

Get well soon, Mr. Miller. Your contributions to the State of Utah are appreciated.

Get well LHM. You have done much for our economy and more than anyone else to make sure us Utahns have good family entertainment. Best wishes.

For years Mr. Miller you have made it possible for all of us in Utah to enjoy many things because of your generosity. Thank you so much for all of it!
Our family wish you the very best and a speedy recovery.

Dick of the NW | 11:05 p.m. June 16, 2008

May God be with you Mr. Miller and your family through this medical challenge. Thank you for the sacrifices you have made to make your City, State, and Country a better place.

LHM from one Miller to another, best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!! Have faith.

Get well and help the rest of us | 11:59 p.m. June 16, 2008

I wish Larry Miller the best, and hope that this is a wake up call for him.

My father died in January from complications of diabetes at the age of 72. He also did not take care of himself for many years and it caught up with him. He is not unusual and we will be seeing many more people battling and dying of this disease.

So, here's my request, Mr. Miller. Since our country is so addicted to foods that contribute to diabetes and heart disease, how about if you be the first NBA owner to offer more of the right kinds of foods at your venues. Less of the high fat, obesity causing foods (that we love but that are bad for us) and more that are good for us. You're a marketing genius, Larry, and you could find a way!

My dad loved his nachos and beer, but in the long run they helped end his life. I wish someone in the sports world had found a way to make it cool to eat healthy. I'm sure if anyone could, Larry H. Miller could. Thanks, Miller family!

Get well Larry. After all "we know this guy" Thank you for all you have done to make this State a better place to live.
