Larry Armentrout Obituary
Larry earned both a BS and MA in education from James Madison University. His students, including journalist Jim Acosta, will remember him as their social studies teacher at Poe Middle School in Fairfax County, where he spent his teaching career and served as Department Chair.
Active in the Fairfax, Virginia, and National Education Associations and their retired counterparts, he was especially proud to serve on the negotiating and government relations committees and enjoyed lobbying on behalf of both students and teachers. For decades, he served on the Tysons Towers Board of Directors, a retirement housing facility begun by Fairfax educators, and served as a president and an historian of the Fairfax County Retired Educators.
Donations in his memory may be made to the W. Harold Ford Scholarship Foundation, c/o Fairfax County Retired Educators, Inc., P.O. Box 682 Springfield, VA 22150.
Larry wanted a simple send-off, designating his friends, Karen Beasley and Kathy Davis, to scatter his ashes in a beloved site in Colorado.

I remember Mr Armentrout from school. I distinctly remember a unit that included the stock market. He had us choose stocks and explain why it should go up or down during our year. I have never forgotten it. He was an extraordinary teacher!

Mr. Larry Armentrout was the teacher who recognized we learn and demonstrate our learning in different ways. I attribute my growth from being a mediocre student to a successful student and lifelong learner to Mr. Armentrout. Mr. Armentrout was and will always be my educational hero.
A personal joke: Laissez-Faire Mr. Armentrout, Laissez-Faire!
