LAWRENCE MADSEN Obituary

Lawrence K. Madsen Lawrence passed away at his home earlier this week at the age of 88. He was born, raised, and lived in and around the Tacoma area. He was a loved dad and grandpa and was loyal and generous to all those whom he befriended. He enjoyed going to the mall, Ma's Cafe, and driving to Point Defiance, the ocean, and the mountain. He was an electrician and a longtime member of IBEW Local 76. He is survived by his son Steven Madsen, his step daughters Susan Wardlow and Patty Prescott, and seven grandchildren - Allison Bujacich, Shana Nash, Zachary Worrell, Loren, Elysa, Lindy, and Emmalene Madsen, and one great grandson - Jeremy Nash. Thank you to those neighbors and friends who were "watching out" for him and helping as he found it harder to get around.

To Steven,and the Madsen family.
I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad Larry past away. I have only known him for about 2yrs and I had grown quite fond of him and his one track mind of one of my employees. Also he and I had something in com.I grew up in FP dist and I knew a prof friend of his from PLU. He always talked about you Steven, and his grand Kids. I really liked our short talks and he was always greatfull for me helping him out. Always wanted to buy me a something from McD's witch I would always say no thank you. He was kinda the mayor of the table of men who would join him each day for coffee. I am greatfull to have met your Dad. God Love Larry, I'll miss seeing him around. (Mall Cleaning Manager)
