“Wik” was born September 22, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan. From the beginning the Detroit Red Wings were his team and he stuck with them through the ups and downs, forever a loyal fan.
He moved to Arizona as an adult and was soon driving busses for Arizona Southern Bus Company and Greyhound. He attended DeVry University and worked as an Electronics Technician for Hamilton Sundstrand. Larry then changed career paths and began a love for with working with adults and children.
He met his wife, Andi Sinohui, playing slow-pitch softball and they married on December 1, 1984. He instantly became a “Sinohui.“ In his brother-in-law’s absence Larry was known as the “Number 1 Mijo” and he took that title seriously. He was always there for the family, especially Mother-in-law, Dora. His caring personality and good nature extended to everyone who knew him.
Larry leaves behind his loving wife and lifelong friend, Andi, and the entire Sinohui clan, his sister, Cindy, brother in law, Doug, and numerous nieces, nephews and great grand nieces and nephews.
A cliché perhaps but true in Larry’s case. He never met a person he couldn’t talk to. Give him five minutes and he would know a person’s life story. It was uncanny the way he could meet total strangers and in no time he could write a book about their life.
His love of music was shared with everyone, but most especially with Andi. Through that love they became a duo, playing guitar and singing together for the enjoyment of those around them. We looked forward to his lead guitar during the songs and our favorite “take it Larry” became our go to phrase. Sometimes he would get caught off guard and we would laugh. A laugh at his expense, which he would take in good nature as was his way. The Sinoski gatherings were world famous, well to us anyway, and players and listeners alike delighted in the music, company and always, great food.
Larry loved to work the daily crossword puzzle and play a relaxing round of golf with Andi and sisters-in-law Jeanette and Margie. He was proud to be a Marine and would always remind everyone that you are “never an ex-Marine” you are a “former Marine.”
Larry has no doubt moved on to the place where “nice guys” go and he leaves behind those of us who were privileged to have been touched by him. He will be missed!
A celebration of life will be held on May 15 at The Sinoski home in New River.
