BURLINGTON, VT. - Larry Lyle Kost, age 72, of Burlington, passed away on December 26th 2015.
He was born on January 9th 1943 in Houston, Texas, he was the son of Dorris and Lyle Kost.
After graduating from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, T.X. he went on to graduate school in Mathematics at the University of Arizona in Tucson, with his first wife Maury. It was there that his first son was born.
From graduate school Larry went to St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada, where he began his career in Teaching Mathematics and where his second son was born.
In 1973 Larry joined the Mathematics Department at the University of Vermont (UVM) in Burlington, Vt. and reconnected with his high school and college friends Jim (who was already part of the Math Department at UVM) and Pat Burgmeier.
In 1975 Larry met and married Rhonda and had his third son in Burlington, Vt.
Larry settled in Burlington, Vt. where he spent the next 42 years Teaching Mathematics at (UVM) University of Vermont to over 7000 students.
Each summer Larry returned to Nova Scotia to visit his dear friends and enjoy fly fishing. The rest of his summer was spent in his garden, which grew in size & diversity each year.
His neighbors knew Spring had arrived when they saw Larry out on his front porch smoking his pipe while doing his crossword puzzle with his morning coffee.
Many summer evenings were spent either at Centennial field watching the baseball games or at home on the front porch listening to the games on the radio, smoking his pipe, reading, and working on Math problems.
Summer weekends filled the air around the neighborhood with the aroma of Larry's amazing outdoor grilling.
Fall brought the change of focus back to academics, faculty senate and committee meetings, and countless hours with students in the classroom, in his office, and grading papers.
