Larry W. Atkins

SHEILA & FAMILY- Hard to believe that our very good friend Larry has now been gone for over one year (July 4, 2020). He is greatly missed. We are hoping to have a 60th. REUNION of our Orting H.S. Class of 1961 before the actual year gets away from us. Hopefully we can gather on some Sunday afternoon at the Orting Eagles Hall in September or October?? Take care as we still think of you often.

SHEILA & FAMILY (Eureka, MT)- We greatly miss our Classmate Larry (Orting 1961). He was a wonderful friend throughout all 13 years in school, as well as for the many years afterward.

Tha feeling of losing Dad is beyond words. He was always there, being my supporter, friend, teacher, guide, comic relief, fan, and hero... Daddy! Saying he will be missed is a drastic understatement. With all the love in my heart, till we see each other again.

So sorry to hear of his passing, I remembered him when I was a little kid, he knew my parents and relatives. He was such a funny nice guy, may he Rest In Peace and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
