Larry Norman Message Board

gary from winnipeg

Although I never did many of his albums. The albums that I do have spoke to me in my first few steps as a christian many years ago. In a world that has itching ears for something new and exciting, Its encouraging to know Larry left this world knowing exactly where he was going at the end. I Pray the rest of the...

Joe Zgrabik - Clev. OH

Family, I first heard of Larry when my friend handed me "Only visiting this planet." I though to myself, "who is this guy?" "Is he for real." In the middle of the church culture where rock was forbidden and Christian Rock was ultra-forbidden, I gravitated more and mo...

Jim Wengrenovich

I had the priviledge to meet Larry at several of his concerts and at a couple of festivals. Once, backstage before he was to play, he had a "tight' back that needed "cracking" or just some manipulations. I tried to help him, but to no avail. As usual, he put on a show not to be forgotte...

I went to my first "Christian Rock concert" at Harry Bristow's Christian Cinema in Ambler, PA with the church youth group back in 1976. I was expecting a hymn sing - no idea what a Christian concert really was, but hymns were the only Christian music that I knew at the time. Harry introduced t...

Family of Pastor Harold Weiss

Because my father was pastor to Pam when she was in high school, we knew Pam's family well, and myself and my brother and sister were lucky enough to have had Pam as "our babysitter" growing up....we even received a rather unique wedding invitation from Larry and Pam. Coming from Californ...

Lester Bullen

Larry was and is still such an inspiration to me. I remember as a young Christian being blown away by his songs and performances. A Christian who spoke my language! Who will pick up his mantle and kick the walls of hell in? Who will live for God and stand up for what is right? For me to live is Christ, to die i...

Jim Conarroe

I was given the gracious honor of promoting three Larry Norman concerts ('95, '97 and '00). Yes, I lost ALOT of sleep each of those weekends but was given a lifetime of memories with the father of Christian Rock. Here are a some of those memories... -sharing a meal with Larry late in the morning at a Waffl...

The first time I saw Larry was in 1967 when he was with the band People. I remember he had his arm in a cast. Years later he was amazed that I remembered that. Years later,I saw him again in Denver in the late 70's and early 80's, then again at the Greenbelt Festival in England and in the van on the way back to Lo...

We Just found the message on Youtube.com... (mainly because we just got High speed cable connection) We are praying for the family at this time, and yet, rejoicing because, right now Larry is rocking in Heaven with Jesus. His music has been one of the reason why I'm still in Church today... Our Love &...

May they be encouraged that Larry's ministry and music touched and changed so many people and that You are greatly pleased. Thank you, Lord, that &...

Larry was like a mentor to me. I grew up in an evangelical Bible-preachin church as a PK. But I was bored with the dusty hymns being forced on me. Ended up getting into drugs and went away to college where someone turned me onto Larry's albums (all of which I still have, and just played 2 of them for my 10-yr...

I'm aware of Larry's passing so soon, but I was just watching song for a small circle of friends on you tube and i was filled with emotion thinking of all the times we played that song. Seeing Larry there so young and full of life it's hard to believe he's gone. We'll miss you Larry, but we know you're in g...

The man( Larry Norman), just a regular joe in our world, however, an honest and down to earth human being at that!, He never quested for the so called (limelight), no just a true desire to reach the lost and found. He truly inspired myself to be an honest person with my faith, just be yourself, he encoura...

Norman Boyington

Regina Doherty Memphis TN

Anthony

So sorry to hear about Larry. I was listening to an old recording from a scratchy LP just yesterday and I came online to see if there's a clean recording/CD available. I was shocked and saddened to hear about his recent death. I am in tears. Regards, Anthony

Mark Edwards

Larry, you we're the best! The best performer, the best song writer, the best communicator and a poet laureate! No one could communicate with an audiance like you! God gave you many gifts and you used them well, so well! You we're brave and courageous, loyal and true. You took a lot of shots but J...

To the family of Larry Norman, well you lost him now, but will see him again, heaven is not too far away for yourselves and all of us who are on that road. In the mean time, I,m praying for your comfort.

My condolences to Larry's family and friends! I heard of Larry's death a few days ago and although I knew he had been ill for some time it was still a bit of a shock that he had gone home and I am feeling choked up writing this.

Larry said he was Only Visiting This Planet, and now he's gone home. While we mourn his loss here, we rejoice with the angels that he's home in heaven, and now there will be lots of great music when we get there. In the interview we did in Steve Scott's recent book, Crying for a Vision and Other Essays he say...

RJ and CM Colman

Larry stayed with us in Melbourne Australia. He was a perfect gentleman in our home. He greatly helped our son Paul Colman who appeared in concert with him. Most especially, he blessed us with his relationship with Jesus. There's no doubt he loved Him. He's with His Lord now. He'll be missed.

Bob and Carol Kuchar

My husband and I first saw Larry Norman at a concert in Pittsburgh PA in the 1970's. We bought his record album and still have it.

Pastor Daniel Theiben

Throughout my teen years I was very confused looking for truth and love in all the wrong places. At the age of 20 in 1971, I was born again. Larry helped to disciple me through his music, ministry and example. Enabling me with the power of the Holy Spirit to go from a shy, hippy, acid rock freak to a bold...

32 years ago I met Larry Norman in Vancouver BC and gave my heart to the Lord as a result of that meeting. Every time I was in peril, somehow, God brought Larry's music to me and it saved my life.
