Larry Stanley

Larry was one of the sweetest persons I have ever had the special opportunity to get to know over his many years on the WWP/Avista Board of Directors. He was truly a "gentle-man" with a smile that lit up the room. I remember his laughter and joyfulness. I don't think I ever saw Larry when he wasn't smiling. Bev truly was the love of his life and treated her with such devotion and respect. I have so many fond and fun memories of Larry and Bev (a truly gentile and loving woman) not only...

Larry Stanley was a good friend and great leader. He was a strong and dedicated advocate for Spokane, the Inland Empire, Washington and America. You could always count on him. He would make a difference. When the Association of Washington Business expanded it presence among small business, Larry led the charge as chairman of our Board in the early 1990s. AWB became the association for ALL business not just large corporations under Larry´s leadership. If the world had more Larry Stanley´s...

I had coffee with Larry once a year when I'd come to Spokane - for 25 years. The highlight of my trip. Each time his dance card was filled with something and made me feel a part of it. He was interested in so many things -- that kept him young. No sitting around for Larry Stanley. A Godly man who understood the proper order of things. I will miss him incredibly -- and that twinkle in his eye.

Although I never met Mr. Stanley I am impressed with his life long commitment and service to a number non-profit public services including sponsorship of Innovia to stimulate focus, preservation and pride the community of Oakesdale.

It is with great sorrow to hear Larry passed. Great joy he´s with our Lord Jesus! New Larry from Plymouth Congregational Church 2009-2017 where we attended church mtgs and respected his business sense and his love for Jesus Christ. What a humble and wonderful man who Beth and I will miss. My prayers go out to his dear family and especially Bev in her time of need and comfort. A truly wonderful wife and soulmate.

Dear Stanley family. I am so sorry for your loss. I know of Larry because my Dad , Walt Schaar played in the 560th with Larry and they both really loved playing in that band . I can think of many times that Group would gather and Larry and Dad and so many others brought joy to audiences with their Music. May God be with you in these days. I´m sure Larry is hearing fantastic music every day now!! Sincerely Carol ( Schaar) Shirk
