We were saddened at the passing of Larry Marler. We were friends and co-workers at Fiberite for many years and he was a key player in the development of carbon composite materials for spacecraft and aircraft including the Stealth bomber and commercial airplanes.
Larry had a great zest for many things and lived a full life.
His family was his delight and joy. He and VeAnn were the original “Dynamic Duo”, and together they could complete any project with skill and laughter.
Our three children have fond memories of Larry. Each one mentioned his and VeAnn’s patience and ability in teaching the flat land Allen kids how to ski.
We will remember him with a smile.

I am very sorry to read of the loss of, Mr. Marler. With all his accomplishments, he was an amazing man! I won’t pretend to know what you’re going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is John 11:25, which says, ” Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolence for the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandpa and friend. Sincerely, Meryl, jw.org – healingwordsforu@gmail.com
