Larry Henry

During the 1980s, when I wrote editorials for the Herald, Larry was my best friend on the newspaper staff. He was exactly two years older than me as we were both born on April 2 and both from the Midwest. I can say with reservation that Larry could have been a top sports writer for any daily paper in the nation. My deepest condolences to his family. My memories of Larry will enrich my elder years just as my friendhip with him did four decades ago. Lou Wein, Evanston, IL

My husband and i knew Larry from the YMCA in Monroe. He was a lovely man who shared stories of his career and life. And he was an excellent listener as well. He was warm hearted with a quick wit. We will miss seeing him at the YMCA

We were fortunate to be neighbors of Larry and Rae for over 25 years. Wonderful people.Larry was a gifted writer. We have fond memories of him running with his dog. Our deepest sympathy to Rae and the the family. He will be missed. Warm regards, Roger and Judy

We had seventeen years together with three wonderful children and four grandchildren to be very proud of.

When I was a young man attending Snohomish High School my favorite area of the Everett Herald was the sports section where Larry had a column. His interviews were always insightful and added to my thirst for more information about my home teams like the Mariners, Seahawks and insights to local athletes as well. I only wished that would get interviewed by him. Sorry to see you go, Larry. Peace, Bill Garza, Snohomish '77

Hugs and love. Your tribute to your husband is beautiful and spot on. You surely captured his essence. His love for you, Rae, and your family is immeasurable. I didn´t know either one of you long, but you have both left an unforgettable, beautiful impression on me. Thank you.

Such a beautifully written, and well-deserved, tribute to Larry. It captures the skilled interviewer, the gifted writer and the friend to so many. I was deeply honored to work with him and call him my friend.
