He was 74. He was born on June 5, 1940 in Portland to Clyde and Jean (Brush) Heater. He was the eldest of ﬁ ve children. The family lived in Sher- wood, Ore. before moving to Creswell in 1950, when Larry was in ﬁ fth grade. He graduated from Creswell High School in 1958, and married his high school sweetheart, Karen Simmons, on June 7, 1959 in Creswell. Their ﬁ rst date was on Christmas Eve of their eighth- grade year, and they had dated through high school. The couple moved to their home on Hidden Valley Ranch, east of Creswell, in November of 1959, where they raised their two sons. Larry began his longtime real estate career at Grove Realty in Cottage Grove in the 1970s, working there for several years before moving on to Countryman Realty in Eugene, where he and Jerry Schwecke became partners and great friends. Larry worked there for many years, earning back-to-back Salesman of the Year awards in 1981 and 1982 for the highest volume of resi- dential sales and listings sold. He then purchased H.N. Traxler’s Realty in Creswell, where he worked as a real estate broker, once earning Creswell Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year Award. He retired in June 2010. Larry enjoyed gardening, ﬁ shing, spending time at his fami- ly vacation home on Siltcoos Lake and traveling with Karen around the U.S. and to Australia and Tasmania. But most of all, he loved being at home with his family and his animals, spend- ing time with his grandchildren and attending their activities and events. He was a longtime member of the Creswell Presbyterian Church, where he had been an elder, and served on the Creswell Cemetery Board. Family and friends will remember him as friendly and funny, frequently giving his children and grandchildren “knuckle sandwiches” and playing other jokes. He was able to easily put people at ease, had beautiful blue eyes that sparkled and was loved by a lot of people. Larry is survived by his wife of nearly 56 years, Karen Heater of Creswell; two sons: Ron Heater (and his wife, Kathy) and Jeff Heater (and his wife, Sharon), all of Creswell; ﬁ ve grandchil- dren: Brandon, Elise, Nick, Gabe and Lauren; one brother, Don Heater of Australia; and three sisters: Judy Schroeder of Baker City, Ore., Mary Ellen Wadds of Australia and Bonnie Clugston of Unity, Ore.

Cathy was a professional photographer and a teacher of special needs children in Roseburg, Oregon. She also loved being a partner, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all that knew her. Cathy loved to brake for all garage sales, ride motorcycles and travel. She was an excellent interior decorator, produced beautiful stained glass and was a wonderful cook!
