Miller leaves 'legacy of a life well-lived'

Wow, what a great tribute to a great man! True, most of us will never have the resources to do the things that he did, but we CAN all give to others and help out in our own little corner of the sky.

It was a wonderful funeral service. Each person who performed did a great job. What a wonderful man. Seeing Larry's children and grand children so close knit - is an inspiration. We have many, many more Larry's today.

I will miss Larry Miller. Truly a great loss.

I think it is impossible to underestimate the impact that Larry Miller has had on the state of Utah.

How much to of Utahs growth and notoriety to we owe to this one man?

Would we have any professional sports franchises if it weren't for Larry Miller?

Would we have been able to hold the Olympics here in Utah without having been successful with our professional sports franchises?

How much of Utahs economy was either directly or indirectly supported by the entrepenurial efforts of this one man?

How many lives were blessd by his immense chartable contributions?

Truly, a great loss.

Larry was a REAL man!

God bless the Miller family.
Larry was one of a kind
Rest in peace Larry.

What an extraordinary man...makes you think about the kind of person you are. Would the President of the Church attend our funeral and have such kind words for each of us???? That says alot about Larry H. Miller!!!

Reading the story made me wonder about what Larry has taught us all. Larry was noted for shooting from the hip sometimes but he always tried to make it right. He was very introspective and showed that not only was it OK for grown men to cry but to apologize when your words and actions hurt people. Let's face it, that isn't easy to do, especially in such a public setting. While I'm not in a position to do much 'shooting from the hip' in public, I do my share with my family and friends. Larry has taught me that it is important to make those things right and for teaching me that and many other things I will miss him terribly.

I just wanted to let his family know that I will miss him. Also to say thankyou for paying for me to go to collage and let them know I am almost done with school. Thank you again and he will be greatfully missed.

We will miss you Larry. You have touched us all.

Was he really married at 16?

I am stunned to learn the entire First Presidency attended Larry's funeral...stunned!

Larry was an awesome man. I hav never known of a more generous man, to have given his whole life in the service of others. I feel like I truly did "know this guy."

Larry Miller gave a fireside talk in my BYU ward a few years back. One of our ward leaders just called his office, extended the invitation, and he came and gave the fireside. He didn't know anybody in our ward and drove down in a pretty good snow storm. i was very impressed with that. He also gave a very good talk.

Rest in Peace Larry Miller. May God Bless his Family during this difficult time. Good to see all of the love and support that they have received.

What a fitting display of love and respect shown by Malone at Larrys funeral today! All the current and past players were in suits and ties while Malone shows up in a T neck sweater, denim jacket and a toboggan hat. This was a perfect representation of how he approached Larry in business and now in death. No respect, no consideration and no class. The man was never a champion in the clutch play, he publically disrespected himself and those who made him, and dishonored his promises and commitments to owners, other players, fans and himself. He has done some amazing things for the community but so do most wealthy people in their own communities. I thought I could tolerate him before but not nowmoney and fame never changes the inner self. Weve now witnessed the true Malone. Remember, Karl, we are always an examplesometimes a good example and sometimes a bad example. You have left a legacy of bad examples.

The guiding genius of Larry Miller is gone. the question to answer in the days ahead, now that the automotive industry is in crisis and people have less money to spend on fun, and the Millers had the expense of Mr. Miller's end of life care, is what becomes of the Miller business empire now.

Larry Miller trafficked in fun and was rich, so what was not to love?

FYI, LHM was born in 1944 & married in 1965 = 21.
It just seems to me that more people "knew this Guy" and felt closer to him than leaders of Churches. He was so accessible and such an example for good works. Our hearts have lost some with LHM's death. Let's fill that space with works that are good and be better each day. I will miss you LHM. May God bless Gail and your family now and in the future. Thank you just for being that person you were.

Larry lived great and he died great! He lived a great life of helping others, more than we will ever know, and he died great in the eyes of the Lord-- Larry went about doing all the good he could, where he could, when he could, to who he could, that was his energy. If I could do one-hundreth of what he did I'd be exhausted. May his posterity carry on in his wonderfully hard-working tradition and may we all learn to go the extra mile or two or three in going about doing all the good we can to others.
I'll miss you Larry, your one of the guys I would follow to the ends of the earth because that is where the rainbow would be. May you enjoy your reward in heaven because you certainly earned it here. I look forward to seeing you in the future.

I didn't know him personally, but he has done so much for Salt Lake and I'm sure other places. It is so sad for me and I cried when he passed away. It was best for him but the rest of us are going to miss him. I really am going to miss him. There really is no one like him. What a guy!

Malone Slam Mr. Miller accepted people as they are and It would be out of character if Malone was dress any differently it the man heart that most important than what he wears Malone has grown up alot and thought Miller was father that he never had I thought it was touching what he said about Larry and the time he spent last summer visiting with Larry Miller. Malone Slam this is not the way to pay respect for Larry Miller by slaming Karl Malone
