Larry Diener Obituary

November 11, 1958 - November 11, 2016 Our beloved son, brother, uncle and friend Larry Diener passed away in his sleep on Friday, November 11, 2016-his 58th birthday. The ultimate salesman, life-of-the-party and true friend to all, Larry brought joy to so many in his life. When asked to describe Larry, most will tell you he had a "big heart" and a great sense of humor. No one could do a better Jerry Lewis impression! And his chicken wings couldn't be beat. Born in Los Angeles to Roslyn and Edgar Diener, Larry spent his entire life in Southern California. He attended Arcadia High School and graduated from San Diego State University. Larry leaves behind so many - family and true friends who cared for him deeply. Larry is survived by his mother Roslyn, his brother Jeff Diener (Kathy), sister Robin De Ryckere (Dale) and brother Scott Diener (Jean), nieces and nephews, Justin, Ashley, Lindsey, David, Bradley, EJ and Robbie. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Larry's name to a favorite charity of your choice. The family plans a memorial service to remember and celebrate Larry's full life sometime in the new year.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Hard to miss the arrival of Larry as he entered the "Little Theater"
He excelled in personality, humor, and warmth.
