Just learned of Larry's passing 10 years too late...I was a student at ISU. Coincidentally, a business associate by the name of Larry Curtis ignited my wonderful memories of being taught by Professor Curtis. A memorable teacher to say the least...I loved going to his classes. Rest In Peace Larry, and my condolences to his family.
Go Cyclones!
I hope Mr. Curtis now how important he was to many of his students. I took all of his classes when I was at ISU, including a new-at-the-time Business Law Class. He is the main reason that I became an attorney and a CPA.
Pam and Family: Barbara and I are thinking of you. I had many good years with Larry on the council and I miss him. He was always a straight shooter both in civc life and on the golf course. We once played 18 holes at the Ames Club at 6:00 in the morning in under 2 hours...laughing all the way. That's how I'll remember him. God Bless you.
In the Early eighties I served as City Manager under the City Council with Larry. He was an outstanding Council member and a true leader. He will be missed
Pam and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you!
I worked with Larry Curtis for many years on business through Manpower and found him to be a great person to work with who was highly respected. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Pam and Family, Our deepest sympathy. Our hearts are filled with sadness for your loss
Among his many qualities, Larry was a community leader, a highly-regarded member of the bar, jovial, welcoming and quick-witted. He was a colleague and friend to many, and a mentor to me. I am thankful I had the pleasure to practice law with him, however, I was hoping for ten more years as he mentioned around the office a few times. He will be sorely missed.
Mr. Curtis was a special,and one of my favorite,professors at Iowa State University. I took both of the Business Law courses he taught in the early 1970's. He taught these classes using the Socratic method with a lot of student participation in the discussion. He learned my name early on which resulted in me often being called upon to review a case or a point of law in class. That not only served me to be more prepared for class but also to get a better grade on his exams which were notoriously tough. Not sure I ever thanked him enough for what I learned. He was a very nice man. Rest in peace.
Larry was a great mentor in my legal career, and I and my family always felt welcome in his house. He was a rare combination of humor and intellect, and always had an insightful (or perhaps as often, wry) comment following an Iowa State game. The Hayes family will greatly miss his friendship, repartee and immense hospitality.
