Larry N. Heath, age 67, of Greensboro passed away September 11, 2007 at Wesley Long Hospital.
After graduating from Greensboro Senior High School, Larry attended Guilford College. He worked as a Loan Officer for Home Federal and he also worked as an Insurance Agent with the Equitable Insurance Company before starting his own company in 1987. He was a member of Presbyterian Church of the Cross.
Larry was a very passionate person, especially where his family and friends were concerned. He was the General Chairman of the 1975 Greater Greensboro Open, and as a proud member of the Green Coat Club contributed his time and energy toward the golf tournament, serving on the Advisory Council for the last several years. He loved sports of all kinds and was a big fan of the New York Yankees and Carolina Tar Heels. He also enjoyed playing golf with his golfing buddies and going to Emerald Isle for a family vacation.
Mr. Heath is survived by his wife of 48 years, Glenda S. Heath, daughter Wendy Heath Lunsford and husband Greg of Burlington, a brother, Jerry Heath and wife, Rita of Long Beach, N.C. and two grandchildren, Cydney and Al Lunsford.

"Hello, up for auction is a Greater Greensboro Open season pass badge for the year 1985. This badge is silver in color with white bordering all the way around. All words are in red and it says the following: "GGO GREATER GREENSBORO OPEN-1985 SEASON PASS NO REFUNDS" Measures approx. 3" all around. This is a really nice badge and they no longer call this event Greater Greensboro Open, it is called something else, so in the not to distant future, this is going to be a rare collectible (to some it already is!!)."
This is the ggoblogger's favorite photo of Larry Heath. He is seen here with the 1975 Greater Greensboro Open Hostesses.
The ggoblogger took this photo of Larry Heath on May 12, 2007. Larry had just come off the golf course and was still wearing his Chrysler Classic of Greensboro golf shirt when he sat down to tell a few GGO stories. The ggoblogger has been working on a history of the GGO commemorative decanters and wanted to ask the 1975 GGO General Chairman a few questions. Larry is seen here with his gold-sprayed 1975 GGO decanter.
