Trout Creek, Montana - Larry R. Seibel, 83, passed away on Saturday, October 29, 2022, after a brief battle with cancer. He requested no services be held. Larry was born February 16, 1939, in Peabody, Kansas to Walt and Fern Seibel. Larry graduated from Caldwell High School in 1957. He joined the Airforce and attended pilot training as a USAF Aviation Cadet. He was honorably discharged in 1964. After the Airforce, he attended college and during many summers, he worked for the Boise National Forest surveying for the construction of roads. Larry married Linda Carter in 1968. He was overseas in South Vietnam, working for RMK-BRJ (a consortium of four of the largest US construction companies) when his daughter, Tonya, was born in July, 1969. He returned home in May of 1972 and it was then that he received his Bachelors in Civil Engineering from University of Idaho in August of that year. Larry and Linda divorced in 1971. He retired from Anderson Perry & Associates, Walla Walla, WA in 2004 and then moved to western MT. He moved to Trout Creek, MT in 2017 where he remained until his passing.
Larry enjoyed many hobbies aside from fishing including hunting, woodworking, photography, gemstone hunting and collecting, fishing rod building and restoring, and was an avid reader. Just before his passing, he had come to Boise to attend the last formal CHS Class of '57 reunion. He was just too ill to attend and was so disappointed by that.
He was predeceased by his parents Walter and Fern Seibel; brother Jim Seibel, and sister Barbara Martell; niece Mandy Hite; and brother-in-law Chuck Hite. Larry is survived by his daughter Tonya Fisher of Boise ID; grandsons Rowdy Fisher and River Fisher; brother Walt Jr. Seibel (Sandi) of Horseshoe Bend ID; and sister Linda Diane Hite of Weiser ID; numerous nieces, a nephew, and their children.
