Read an Excerpt

Foreword

[Larry's] impact in athletics through the success and reputation of the Utah Jazz, the Salt Lake Bees and Miller Motorsports Park, can be felt nationwide and perhaps worldwide. Yet, his greatest accomplishments may be the helping hands, the lessons, the time and care he offered to those less fortunate than himself.

This [man] ... chose to be a servant king who used his resources and clout to enrich the lives of others.
