Larry Ellis Obituary
Larry was born in Longmont, CO to Chet and Laurene Ellis on April 2, 1951. He was the 2nd of 4 children and was raised in Berthoud, CO.
Larry graduated from Berthoud High School in 1969.
Larry worked in Agriculture most of his life and was a chemical/ fertilizer applicator for many years.
Then I, Terri Travis went to American Fertilizer in Johnstown in 1979 to apply for a job. Larry was the one that gave me the application to fill out and the rest was history. We were married on July 18, 1981.
Wherever Larry went you knew he was there because he had a big personality and a laugh that filled the room.
He was preceded in death by his sister Carol, his parents and numerous other relatives.
He is survived by his 2 sisters, Linda Thomas (Rich) and Cindy Ellis.
Celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Larry requested you consider a donation to NoCo Humane Society in care of Viegut Funeral Home, 1616 N Lincoln Ave, Loveland, CO 80538.

As my long time friend Mark Spaur reminded me that when he worked swamping the helicopter back in the day, Larry´s favorite song that he would sing to you was "Just Don´t Go Breaking My Heart "

I remember how he and Terri were such Raider fans, and how much more fun it made it watching the Bronco/Raider games with them and their friends. Also, when I moved into Neal and Lois's old house, he and Terri were kind enough to help me paint the garage. The snowmobiling with Larry at Grand Lake and Black Hills were very memorable times, as well. Rest in Peace

I have more great memories with Larry aka"Chet" than I can count. The one fond memory that sticks out the most is when we were all in Tuffy´s and we would play on the bowling machine. One night Larry was bowling "300" all night long and Tuffy would give out free pitchers. Tuffy was getting annoyed and he´d pucker his lips! There were numerous pitchers of beer on the bar. After that night, Tuffy stopped giving free pitchers of beer. Rest in Peace, my cherished friend.

I worked with Larry @American Fertilizer and were roommates. Sunday was watching All Star Wrestling until yelling Helen decided to break a chair over Raul´s head. Always a laugh a minute.

We went to school together from elementary school to high school. What I remember most about Larry was his contagious smile and laugh. He had a great sense of humor and was kind to everyone he knew and was willing to help any friend in need. My condolences go out to his wife Terry and his family. RIP Larry.

I have such great memories of Larry. He was so much help to me when he worked at the gas station in Berthoud. I also remember Vickie Falk and I picking Larry up and all of us attending the Ten Years After concert. I am so very sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. Sending my sincere condolences to his wife and sisters. What a great guy he was.

Larry will be greatly missed. I first met Larry in 1958, when my family moved to a farm at Berthoud. Larry could light up a room with his smile and laughter. Following high school days, I rarely saw Larry, but always enjoyed getting updates from Cindy and Terri. Earlier this year I had the privilege of visiting with Larry and reminiscing childhood days. Many great memories of "the good old days". RIP my friend!
