load of crap,” followed by
a wise chuckle. Never shy
of sharing an opinion, his
stance on most any topic
was rarely on impulse —
for Larry, debating a point
of theology or ecclesiology
was not about winning but
about teaching. He was well
known in the Hood River
community for his welcom-
ing personality and openness
to anyone who sought pasto-
ral advice, or wanted to swap
fi shing stories.
The memorial service
will be on Sept. 11, 2021, at
1 p.m. at St. Mark the Evan-
gelist Episcopal Church in
Hood River.
In lieu of flowers, the
family requests that dona-
tions be made to the Epis-
copal Diocese of Eastern
Oregon.
