Morrow County has been my “home” since the early 1970’s, and even though 1 currently live in Klamath Falls, I have family and friends in the County that deserve the best service available from the Sheriff's Office. Prior to moving to Klamath County two years ago, 1 held a manage ment at Morrow County Sheri it's Office, where 1 had the opportunity to work closely with Larry Sample for twelve years. Emergency Services is a very difficult career choice that a person must be passionate about.-Being the Chief Executive Officer o f a public safety agency is difficult at best and requires a candidate that not only has the ability to balance a limited budget; but has the ability to balance the needs o f the citizens with the staff and assets avail able; provide fair, unbiased serv ices to all o f the citizens o f Morrow County. Larry Sample not only is qualified to fill this necessary roll, he has a positive personality that he shares with his staff, which in turn promotes the staff members to share their positive attitude with the citizen’s across the County. Larry is not only qualified but he would bring a positive respectful attitude to the office, and I feel he is the best candidate for the position. Jeanine E. Dilley, Executive Director Klamath 9-1-1 Communications District Cary W. Richards was also a member o f the Heppner B.P.O.E. #358. Survivors include: his w ife, Jane R ichards; children, Budd Richards, Teresa Bryan, Michelle and Don G raham , M arc and Debbie M attair, and M e lissa and Keith Wright; step mother, Mae Lang; broth ers, Bob, Ted, Mike, Max, Barney, Dick and David; sister, Becky; grandchildren, Justin, Ian, Frank, Maranda, Sean, and Travis; and two great-children, Brandon and Caiden. He was preceded in death by his mother Evelyn Richards and stepfather El lis Richards and his father Burton Lang.
