RIP Larry H Miller 

Post#1 » by Pai Gow » Sat Feb 21, 2009 12:31 am

He has unfortunately past away today.. I guess the amputation of his legs wasn't able to save him. This is a sad and horrible day for Jazz fans.

This is a huge blow. My heart just shrunk and became very very cold when I heard the news. My greatest condolences to the family.

Just saw it on the General Board. Didn't know his condition was lethal. RIP.

WOW!

This is effin crazy.

R.I.P. Larry, and thank you for everything you have done for this state and especially for me as a sports fan. If it wasnt for you I would have never been able to fall in love with basketball, and go to my first bball game as a kid and the all star game when I was 9. Thank you for everything. God Bless you and your family you will be in my prayers.

Very sad to hear. Great man. Every Jazz fan owes him a debt of gratitude.
He saved our team and then proceeded to elevate the franchise to a role model of stability and success. Sad day is Jazzland. RIP Larry.

Many, many thanks.

Rest in peace.

Wow this is so terrible, just saw it on ESPN. This man was responsible for so much in Utah. Too young to pass away. We need to win a championship for Larry H. Miller. I'm so sad.

It's sad that he didn't see his team winning the championship after being so close. I hope we win a championship soon, and dedicate it to him.

If this doesn't start a fire under the players nothing will. This is their chance to pay homage to Larry, I want to see tough defense, hard fouls, and hustle from every player on the floor. It's the least they can do.

It is an absolute tragedy that this man did not get to see this team win an NBA Championship.

Jazz fans in Utah owe this man so much. RIP.

Larry was "The Man" that saved Pro basketball in Utah. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest In Peace Larry. Fair winds and following seas.
