I have always heard that he was a decent man. Hopefully he was watching last night as the Jazz beat the Celtics.
We lived in Sandy, UT during the late ‘80s. My son and I ran into Larry Miller along with the Utah Jazz center Mark Eaton (Miller was at least part owner of the Jazz at the time) at a golf tournament one year. Miller was a relatively short man and Mark Eaton ran 7’3”. We were standing with them on the final hole and to see the two together was a Mutt & Jeff experience. My son got Eaton’s autograph and Larry Miller seemed like a nice guy.
It was said at the time that Eaton drove a car with the driver’s seat removed because of his height. Don’t have a clue how factual that is, but he sure was a tall fella.
