Not sure what to say?

Larry was a young attorney in the early 1980's when I was clerking for The Honorable Kathleen Nachtigal in Multnomah County Circuit Court. It was always an honor and a joy to have Larry in our courtroom--he was consistently well prepared, and presented a solid case, never showboating, but always advocating articulately for his clients. Anyone who had Larry for their attorney had a friend as well as excellent legal representation. He was as personable as he was professional--a perfect...

Played many rounds with Larry at Columbia-Edgewater. He was one of the first guys I got to know there. You could not help smiling when being around him. A wonderful man.

My first office was shared with Larry who taught me about being a lawyer with a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you for the fond memories.

Coach Garvey and I will our bro from 1965 on at Oregon Alpha, followed by a life time of friendship despite rare personal get togethers. One of the funniest men I ever knew. I'm chuckling even now as I recall his special humor. Happy for his many years with the love of his life, Suzanne. Lucky to have known him. Robb Miller

So sadto hear of Larry's passing. We shared the same birthday. I worked as his paralegal in the 1980s. He was the best boss I ever worked for and I learned so much from. Condolences to Suzanne and his family. I hope to learn more his memorial this spring. Thank you Larry for all the great memories. You will be missed.

So sad to hear this. We knew Larry at CECC and before that when we all lived in the same neighborhood in Aloha and Suzanne was his girlfriend...a beautiful couple.

Many years ago, on a Sunday afternoon at CECC, Larry got a hole in one on #17. As Larry and I were celebrating, our wives asked what had happened, as they had been so engaged in conversation that they missed it entirely.

Thanks to Larry, Susan's and group for the golf tournaments he hosted at CECC for friends, etc. So many fun memories

Larry and his wife were long time friends of ours. I worked with him professionally and was the better person for it. He introduced my wife to me, and I am eternally grateful for that. He will be sorely missed. John Brams
