Read MoreI was very saddened to learn of Larry's death. I worked with him for several years when he was head of the Navy Committee of the Rose Festival and I was a Navy officer assigned to Portland. The obit captured him perfectly; he was a great guy and one-of-a-kind.

I enjoyed talks with Larry while we worked on the duck pond.
He will be missed by the neighbors.
