Mr..Aldridge was really nice to me even when I skipped school. He made me realize how stupid that was.
Just learned of Coach "A's" passing last night at our 50th class reunion.
My condolences to the Aldridge family. He was a great coach and human being . As a class of 73 graduate, I played football and basketball under his coaching tutelage and was able to benefit from his teachings.
He was a great person!
Deepest Sympathy to the Aldridge Family. May all the Happy Memories hold you close at this difficult time. Wonderful teacher and coach! Rest in Peace Mr Aldridge! Say Hii to my folks! Laker for Life! xoxo
Condolences to the entire Aldridge family. I have great memories of duck hunting, bass fishing and fishing for pike and gils through the ice. We cut a lot of wood and we also just had some great times around our kitchen and dinette tables.
Worked for Larry at the park district, played football for him and had great respect for him. He could balance his intensity with compassion and humor. He touched so many lives in a very positive way and will be greatly missed. So sad to hear of his passing. Blessings to his family.

A wonderful coach and will always remember him as a energetic and fantastic Laker. RIP coach.
So sorry to hear about Larry’s passing. He was a great guy and we enjoyed visiting with him on our summer visits. Jim and Judy Bielenberg
Larry touched so many lives during his many years of teaching. He was an example of goodness to all who were blessed to know him. I’m proud to call him my friend and he will certainly be missed! Lee Petersen
There are so many great memories of this great guy! We were blessed to have known him and had him as a friend. And we share in this great loss with Shelley and their family and friends. With love, Chuck & Edie Matthewson
My sincere condolences to Michelle and the Aldridge family. Larry was a good friend and classmate, and I would always stop by and see him and Shelly when I was in the tri-cities area. He was a tremendous athlete and he made me a better athlete trying to keep up with him and thankfully, I had the opportunity to tell him that. RIP, my friend. Ken Vanderhoff
