My deepest sympathy to the Kriegh family for your loss. From the time I was first introduced to Larry by my dear daughter-in-law, Kayla, I've felt a fondness through our mutual passion for old cars. May Larry now rest in peace.

Marilyn, I am so happy that you found the love, warmth and kindness of Larry in your life. I know you are hurting and I hurt because you are. You are a strong woman, and I am so glad that you surrounded by the love and support of your family and friends. May you share memories of life & laughter, accomplishments and favorite times! Take comfort in the promise that Jesus said, "I will never leave you", and that death is not the end of Life, just a transition, and that Larry is now Whole & has no more pain. Wish I could be there with you! Love, Gail

My condolences to the Kriegh family. As a young man in 1971 I went to work for Larry in his Pizza Hut located in Storm Lake Iowa. Although we only met on a few occasions, he set the course for my adult life in the food service industry. I had the utmost respect and admiration for Larry and was saddened to hear of his passing. RIP Larry.
Brian Peterson, Red Wing, MN.
