S. Dumville Obituary
Larry was born and raised in Richmond, Va. He attended The Collegiate Schools, received his undergraduate degree from Washington & Lee University and his J.D. from Marshall-Wythe Law School. Larry moved to Norfolk, Va., where he started practice at Breeden, Howard & MacMillan. Shortly thereafter, he met his wife, Fran when he moved in next-door to her. He was a dedicated husband and father.
Larry loved the practice of law, from researching a case to the trial process. He prided himself on being a trial attorney, not a litigator. During his 38 years as an attorney, he was honored to serve as the President of the Norfolk Law Library. He was well-respected by his clients, judges, fellow attorneys and community.
When his boys entered Boy Scouts, Larry became very involved in the Scouting program. He served in several positions, on both troop and Council levels. One of his favorite jobs was teaching the Law Merit Badge. In his last Scouting position, Larry was honored to serve as a Unit Commissioner for the Tidewater Council.
As the grandson of a Methodist minister and an historian that loved researching the Bible, he devoted himself to his faith. During his 34 years at St. Andrews United Methodist Church, Larry held many leadership positions and was a Sunday school teacher for both adults and youth.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, June 4, 2022, at 2 p.m. at Altmeyer Funeral Home, 5033 Rouse Drive, Virginia Beach. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Parkinson's Disease Association (apdaparkinson.org) or plant a tree in Larry's honor.
