Well said Jbo, for the masses the car hobby was a very small part of him. He impacted many peoples lives in and about SLC. Employment, housing, and most importantly education and scholorships to help others better their own lifestyles. His family has vowed to carry on his legacy, but make no mistake he made a large footprint in the area. RIP

With out a doubt we have lost a true friend in the Cobra community and one here in Utah.

I would like to publicly say how grateful I am that he 1) kept these American Treasures in the United States and 2) shared his collection in a way that allowed me and others in the public to get up close to the cars and actually see and hear them run as they did in the day.

His involvement in the Museum in Colorado and his collection at the track have helped us preserve an important part of American History. The spectacular accomplishments of Ford, the drivers of the period, and the total commitment to be the very best in the world.

It seemed that he did that with all his ventures, probably why he was so successful. I cant imagine what Utah would be like without the positive things he created within our community. Many of us who race at his track are indeed indebted to him for caliber of race track he built, sparing no expense to provide a safer and faster race track.

Recently, I had the unique opportunity to work for Larry and his family at Miller Motorsports Park. One of the perks of my job was to talk with Larry in the museum about the cars, and the history of each. It was a real honor for me to give museum tours to the public.

You would think at major race events at the track that he would be spending his whole time in a luxury suite...but he didn't. In fact most of the time he was in his golf cart giving rides to strangers making round trips from the museum to the parking area. Just being super kind and Gracious to ordinary folk.

I can assure you that he imparted those same gracious qualities with his sons and family which truly will be his legacy. I hope all you if you get the chance visit Miller Motorsport Park here in Utah.

Sad to hear the news.
Goodwood was made more special whenever Larry Millers cars were there. My son and i were very lucky one year when he allowed us to sit in the Daytona. Thank you. My condolences to his family.

"Checkered flag Larry," is a very fitting saying for this man!!

I never knew him personally like Terry Stapley did, but I have heard nothing but good things about the man. Some people with money and fame lose their perspective and values. I believe that Larry H.

He will be missed; condolences to his family and friends.
