Shastaman Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Sorry to see this in the Everett Herald today. http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/06/05/20/100loc_b2hiker001.cfm Larry was a great mountaineer who gave a tremendous amount to the club. As a fellow Everett Mountaineer, I am saddened and stunned by this accident. The side of Lewis Peak is one long slippery slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotzen Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 This was tragic news; I heard yesterday. Larry is just one of those people you wouldn't expect this to happen to. He was enormously generous with his time in volunteering is so many aspects of the Mountaineers. Always had a huge smile. I just saw him, less than two weeks ago, and he was thrilled at finally being retired, and having friends to go on mid-week scrambles with. And his wife Sandra is a dear person. They found each other late in life, and had so much to look forward to, together. I wish I could send him a message that he is loved and will be missed. As an anecdote, Larry has been an inspiration to me the last few years. I'm turning 40 very shortly, and he climbed Denali in his mid-50s. I would look at him and figure, heck, I've at least got another decade of high living left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleOfWillis Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Larry - big smile guy, caring, passionate alpinist, dedicated, a great man. "The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." - William James Larry, you left a permanent imprint in the hearts of many. You are loved and will be greatly missed by us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Yes, very sad. Larry gave tirelessly to the club and inspired others to do so. He was a monster on the mountain and could move fast. My condolences to Sandra and support to his two climbing partners and the entire Everett family who are hurting in the wake of this incident. The light of one of our candles just went out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
