Larry Sudduth taught physics at Georgia Tech for many years, and never missed a reunion of Mr. Steele's physics class while he was alive. He retired in Feb. 2006, and a retirement party was held for him then, with some pictures taken of him then posted on the Georgia Tech website. At that time I believe he told our classmate Barbara Sollner-Webb that he planned to do some travelling. When we tried to contact him in late 2006 and early 2007 about plans for a reunion of Mr. Steele's class to be held in Nov. 2007, he did not answer our emails, and eventually his brother told one of us that Larry had passed away in 2006. But I have not been able to learn any details about the cause of death. One of the more eccentric people in our class, Larry was always the life of the party at reunions of Mr. Steele's class, and was very loyal to his friends from that class. He is greatly missed by all of us. (From Michael Gerver)
