Lawrence Kickham

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ the staff at Deisler Funeral Home

I was a student of Larry's at SVSC in the eighties and enjoyed him so much. He was so kind, educated, intelligent and fun and for a young college student, it was so inspiring to be taught by someone so close to my age! - I have run into him over the years, and always received the same smile and interest from him. What a nice man and gentleman. I send my sincere sympathy to Larry's entire family, his colleagues and students. You touched so many Larry, Rest in peace.

I would like to express my condolences to Lisa and the entire Kickham family at this time. Larry became a good friend of mine when I worked for the Saginaw Choral Society and Larry was on the board of directors and assisted me in the financial aspects of the business. Larry was always generous with his time and offered many suggestions that helped fine tune the Choral Society’s financial process. Lee Wright

I was deeply saddened to hear of Larry's passing.Though I had not seen him much since high school, he was often in my thoughts, especially around his birthday -- today, Flag Day. Larry was a great friend while we were in grade school and high school. Thinking back on those times, I recall that he not only had a way of making all feel comfortable, he also had a way of making just about everyone feel a bit special. His passing brings up lots of wonderful memories and stories of his quick wit and great sense of humor and things like playing softball doubleheaders in Diendorfer Woods (a hit into the maple tree in the middle of left field was an automatic double!), sharing thoughts about grade school crushes, our unforgettable city league basketball team -- The Awes, and study hall senior year when all at our table gave Sister Florentine fits "doing homework", though "doing laughwork" was much more like it. Those were memorable times and I am thankful that Larry was a part of them. My heartfelt condolences go out to Larry's family and friends. Please accept my deepest and warmest sympathy. Mike Polzin
