I am so sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. KJ loved him and so did I. He will be missed greatly by his family and the many friends he had.
Mandy, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Reading his obituary he sounded like he was a wonderful man and cared deeply about his family and community. I know you are very proud of him. God was apparently ready for him to come to Heaven where he will look over all of you from above. He and your family are in prayers.
Marilyn,
Please accept our condolences! I always enjoyed seeing Gator at the Shark hangar.
I wish we could come in person for the visitation but we’re in Florida. But we will be there in spirit!
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. May God bless him and keep him. You girls are in my thoughts and prayers.
There are no words to describe the loss of my dear friend. Larry was a true friend not a phony. At one time I desperately needed help for me and my family. Without Lar I might not have made it and my family and I love him for it. In all of my years with the SLPD I can honestly say Larry was one of the best I have ever worked with. He has a beautiful wife Marylin and daughters Mandi and Chrissy who he was alwYs bragging about to me. We will miss you our friend
I’m truly sorry for the loss of Larry Tinnell Sr. His Son Larry Tinnell Jr and I are just so Heart broken for you all.

I loved him like a son.
So sorry to hear of the passing our dear friend and masonic brother, Larry .. we will keep the Tinnell family in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Marilyn and girls:
I’m so terribly sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. He was a true friend and a good person. He was always there to help when help was needed. We had a lot of good times at work events, golf, parties at our houses, and of course the car shows and Shark Tanks. I loved his big smile and laugh, and his fun loving and kind spirit. Please accept David’s and my sincere condolences. You and the girls are in my prayers.
Marilyn and family –
I am very sorry for your loss. Larry was a great person. May he rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him. Sending prayers
I worked with Larry in the SLMPD TACT Unit back in the ’70s and ’80s. He was a great guy and a great detective. They don’t make ’em like that anymore – unfortunately. Best wishes to his family and friends.
I worked with Larry on the SLMPD he was an excellent officer. God rest his soul. Peace and comfort to the family and friends.
Marilyn our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
