    RIP to a true entrepreneur who loved sports.

    He was one of the best fastball pitchers in the world at one time, and he sponsored a number of high-calibre teams in Salt Lake City for years and years and years. He'll be missed.

    RIP to one of the owners who really got it.

    Any owner that has the same coach in place for 20 years and is relatively successfull is quite tell-tale.

    Rough, rough loss for the Jazz organization, SLC and the region as a whole.

    I remember reading an aticle where the writer went driving around with Larry and coming away pretty impressed with him. I can't find it on the google so if anyone knows the article and would be kind enough to repost that would be great.

    I played against Larry Miller Toyota. They imported many Canadians to play for them.
