Lawrence Caruso Obituary

Lawrence "Larry" Caruso

November 26, 1945 - October 15, 2018

Larry passed away peacefully in Shoreline, WA at the age of 72 as a result of Pick's Disease, which is a form of progressive dementia.

Larry graduated from the University of Washington in 1969 with a BA in Business Administration. From his first job as a box boy at the local Safeway at the age of 15, his business career lead him towards the food distribution and sales business. After college, he worked as a representative for a national food company. He leveraged that early success and experience to co-found his own wholesale food brokerage business. Larry's outgoing personality and love of people served him well, traits that insured him a very successful business career along with many wonderful lasting friendships.

At his core, Larry was a wonderful family man. His family will miss his wisdom and generosity.

He is survived by his son David (Kelly), daughter Chris (Jason), brother Steven (Janet), and grandchildren Alexis, Nick, Michael and Tre.

The family will be holding a private memorial service to celebrate Larry's life.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a charitable donation in Larry's name to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA).
