Larry Dayne "DJ Dad" Stogsdill

Larry was a loving part of our family for many years through marraige to my sister. He shared many Thanksgiving, birthday and Christmas celebrations in Olympia with us. He was a kind and generous spirit, who loved a good hug. He became instant friends with whomever he met. We had great fun sharing stories and predictions about the Mariners and the Seahawks. He has been a part of Jim's football pool since it started many years ago, and often walked away with winnings at the season's conclusion. Family was everything to Larry, and he loved sharing stories about his kids and grandkids, and growing up in Tacoma--he was so proud of each of them. We are so saddened by his passing, but feel that our years of knowing him and having him as a fun and loving part of our family was a precious gift to us.
