Larry met Elizabeth Lou Cardon in Moscow, Idaho when they traveled together with a group of single women to Wenatchee, WA to a singles dance. Elizabeth was very impressed with Larry’s new Toyota 4 runner and during the drive they found they had a great deal in common. They were married in December, 1994 in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Following their marriage they made their home in Pullman WA where Larry worked for Schweitzer Engineering. From there they moved to Aberdeen WA where he worked as a technical writer for Lambs Grays-Harbor.
Elizabeth died in 2016. Larry was a faithful, patient and caring husband. Although her illness made it very challenging for him at times, he tried to give Elizabeth everything to make her happy; for example, they traveled to Seattle to Pavoratti’s concert in 2007 and she shopped for family and friends at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on line. Larry was loved and very much appreciated by Elizabeth’s family.
