Larry Norman Message Board

Dennis Laing

I drove the 3 hours from the Oregon Coast to attend the memorial service of a simple man who changed my life as a teen 30 years ago... Norman family, the service was beautiful. Thank you for sharing the life of your brother. As in his life, Larry's passing was a testimny to the love of Jesus. Thank you for...

Just got back from that..it was about 2 and half hours long..and a lot of fun. The family really took care to make sure? that this was not a somber event, that everyone could feel comfortable and celebrate his life and contributions.? There was a photo collage, video clip montage at the end, and even a si...

Thank you Larry for reminding us that we're to be in this world and not of it.

Doktor John

31 years ago when I was ambushed by God a friend gave me a few of Larry's albums... Coming from a total spiritual vaccum and not being too sure about the whole church gig, Larry's music provided the foundation for my way of looking at the Kingdom. Now, after almost 30 years of fulltime ministry, I am thank...

Carmen Yelich

Deepest sympathy To friends and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. Words cannot express. Larry's music has meant so much to us over the years. I've listened to him since I'd attended a concert in Vancouver, Canada as a teenager in the 80's. His music seems to have reached ou...

As I start to type this message I don't know where to begin. Perhaps the overwhelming number of people leaving messages will take away from any insecurities I have about leaving a message or statement here. 'Cause you probably won't ever get to this one.... During the late 1970s I was an increasin...

Mike Rechtien

This song forever changed my life. This man, this song, these words. "Some say he was an outlaw, a poet, a sorcerer..." You gave me a right to have a relationship with this godman. I am so grateful. I am so sad. Bye, Larry. I never knew you but I knew and loved you. Thank you.

PEER HAUGEN

Sorry to hear about Larry´s death. Since early in the seventies his songs has been an inspiration for me. I just met him once, at Sunnmøre folkehøgskule in Ulsteinvik, Norway. The three our long concert he gave us, and the time he spent with us and our students still lives in my memory. Thank you Larry fo...

Lisa Newcomb

What a humbling experience to have witnessed the love and true heart of Christ at Larry Norman's Memorial Service. Such a blessing to have experienced the tribute that his wonderful family and friends assembled. (Thank you.) In the midst of their loss, they compiled a powerful visual and audio jour...

Greg in Portland

What a gathering! Perhaps 500 (?) of us poured into a church in Salem this morning to pay our respects to Larry. As we entered we were handed 'circus programs' (instead of a boring pamphlet) that read: Larry Norman Presents: A Going Away Party. It was a gathering of friends, family and fans alike. As peo...

Tommy Rock

Larry was the very first celebrity I'd meet in Hollywood, in 1975. Across from Capitol Records on Vine Street, he sipped on a Coke, long blonde hair and big smile. (the Hot dog guy had a bunch of Larry's 8 by 10's on the wall) I'd left my home in New York hoping for a record deal in LA. Larry saw the reel to reel...

Trond Kilvaer

Larry Norman never locked his Diamond in any room. He spread his diamond through his songs worlwide, and has been an blessing to me since I was 17. may the Lord bless you all. Keep up the good work until the Son begins to reign.

Mark Houston (UK)

I know its been said many times over the last few days but so many of us need to say a big thanks to the guy. Without Larry...what sort of music would we be listening to? I love RAWK n ROLL and I love JESUS...Larry helped bring them together. Without Larry...would Dylan have written Gotta Serve Someb...

LARRY NORMAN

I STARTED LISTENING TO YOU IN THE 70'S AND HAVE NEVER STOPPED, I MET YOU AFTER A CONCERT YOU GAVE AT A CHURCH IN LEMON GROVE CA. AND YOU WERE SUCH A NICE GUY, IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE,,, WE WILL ALL MISS YOU BUT NEVER FORGET YOU, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY , LOVE THRU JESUS GERRY

Steve, UK

No other words are necessary. I have just finished playing a 90 minute selection of Larry's music while I knew that the memorial was taking place, ending with Goodbye, Farewell. It is the hardest song to play just now, I can't imagine what it would be like to hear it being played half a world away in Po...

Robin Wright

It was the late 70's and in Southern California, I would see Larry Norman everywhere with my teen Christian church group. What a blessing his life was and is. He was truly a pioneer. Glorious peace and joy from the Lord to his dear family and friends. Much Love, Robin Wright Robin@colorfulconsulting...

steve scott

I just wish I could be there in person for the memorial. Here's a couple of anecdotes for yr personal and/or share with friends.. As I posted on the UK tribute site, the last time I heard from Larry was by Email in 2005..I was in Bali, Indonesia, arranging/hosting an arts conference approximately 3 we...

Marsha Allen

My prayers are with you today as you say goodbye to your beloved. You guys were so lucky to know that special man. I trust your time today was the beginning of healing and happy, happy memories. In Him

Ben de Bruijne

Dear Charles, I was shocked to hear the news about your brother Larry. I heard it just a few moments ago. News travels slow in Holland. The times you were here with Larry, in Vlaardingen, were times of great fun. I remember Larry buying me three albums of Deep Purple. Just because I said I liked their musi...

Grandma

There are no words to express the respect and appreciation for Larry's music. As a new Christian in the 70's I can't even express the delight and joy in discovering Larry Norman's music in worshipping, celebrating Jesus. Thank you.

Hans Cornelisse

Hi, I don't really know what to say because there is so much to say. I'm just a simple guy from the Netherlands who happens to love Larry's music but, above all, who loves Christ. I think it was back in 1993 when I first heard and saw Larry Norman on Dutch television. I was drawn to his way of saying things, hi...

Debra Dodder

His music and Lyrics followed and took me through the trials and joys of the last 32 years of my life and comfort and teach even today. Thank you for sharing him with us. I

Yke from Finland

Dear family of Larry, I´m writing this while you are having his funeral. I pray that you have a great precence of God´s Holy Spirit and his consolation in there. I wish I could have been there myself, but I´m too far away - in Finland. I have listened to Larry´s music a lot, and seen him live seven times be...

Letter to Gail McFarland:Tricia just called me to tell me the news she had just heard on TBN. I had not heard much about Larry since I saw him last. He had come over to me before church at COTW. I was sitting with Scott. Larry gave me a rambling apology and then left. Scott said, "Who was that?&qu...

Dear Norman family, Just wanted to add my condolenses to the list of those who have written. I had the privilege of hosting one of Larry's concerts in 1999. He even came to my house for lunch the next day! I thought that was very cool of him. He said he found it amazing that we invited him. Our fam...

Blessings & Peace to Larry's family & friends. "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face." 1 Cor 13:12a. "For by His stripes we have been healed." 1 Pet 2:24. I cannot express the impact of this one man's music in and on my life. He g...

Keith & Jan Thompson

We are saddened at the news of Larry's passing. We didn't know him personally but laughed and cried along with his music on many occasions. Larry was an awesome communicator and a huge influence for many. He was an inspiration to me as a musician and it was a great thrill to meet him very briefly at the Gre...

Keith Schwartz

Dear Norman family, Some of the things I will remember most about Larry are his gentleness and boldness (two traits that rarely go together in one person), as well as his humility, insight, toughness, candor, and humor... all carried together with a "God given stamp of approval" grac...
