On February 23, 2019 family and friends lost a gentle soul that cultivated a selfawareness
that he saw in each of those he met. Larry was born in Seattle in
November of 1947. His peaceful death is felt by many.
Larry was a sport enthusiast and enjoyed playing baseball, basketball, skiing. and
watching football. For many years up to October of this year he played basketball on
several local teams and traveled to San Francisco yearly for tournaments. He has
developed many strong relationships with his SF friends.
Larry spent 43 years at Boeing. His career started as a graphic artist which led to
management and then creative director. He designed and directed many significant
company campaigns and projects.
Larry is survived by his wife Jennifer Thomas and his adult children Kyle and Keri
(Ricker), his sister Joyce, and brother Tim. He has six grandchildren.
A celebration of Larry’s life will be held at the Nisei Veterans Hall of Seattle, 1212
S. King St on March 10 at 10 am.
We thank Providence Hospice Care of Seattle for their gentle care and
compassion during his end-of-life journey. A huge thank you to all of his
friends and family that came to visit at his home during that time. His wish
was to see you all before he left.
