Surviving Larry is his brother Daniel Ewing, daughters Anita (and Dave) Tucker, Jennifer (and Tim) Goldsworthy, and Nancy (and Phil) Henderson; grandsons Benjamin Goldsworthy, Matthew Goldsworthy (and wife Sara), Ian Henderson, and Joshua Henderson (and wife Claire); great-grandsons Steven James Goldsworthy, Andrew William Goldsworthy, Charles Armstrong Henderson, and great-granddaughter Emily Megan Goldsworthy, as well as several dear nieces and nephews. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, wife Wilma, and two sisters, Leslie Ewing and Lola Jaakkola.
