Class of 1969
This list of the graduates from the Class of 1969 was compiled from the GLHS 50+ Alumni Association yearly listings of who had passed over the last year at each annual reunion year. We are sure there are others we have missed that need to be added to this list. If you know of any graduates who have passed who are not listed here please email the information, including the year they passed, the date, and for the women their maiden name to:
[email protected] We are only looking "online" for information because we have hundreds of obituaries to research. We realize that there are other resources we could use to look up this information in libraries in electronic or paper format but we do not have the time to dedicate to that. If you have information for someone who has passed please let us know and we will make any changes to information we have previously posted. If we have no other information we will just list “NO INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE” as part of their listing. The obituaries, or other information if it was available for the graduates that have passed, follow the listing. Thank You! |

Larry was a kind-hearted, compassionate man with a gruff exterior. His family lovingly referred to him as a "crusty marshmallow." He was the type of person who helped others, but never wanted any thanks or recognition. He had a very sarcastic sense of humor, and a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush.
Larry was a self-employed truck driver who worked hard to provide for his family. He built "the cabin" from the ground up with the help of his loving wife, a few friends, and his tenacious spirit. He loved spending time at "the cabin" with his family.
He met the love of his life, Connie, in 1981, and they married in 1982. His daughter, Lynlee, was born in 1985, and his son, Jon, was born in 1991. His children will remember him as the best daddy ever.
He was preceded in death by: his father, Paul; his mother, Virginia; his brother, James; and his best friend/brother, Skip.
He is survived by: his wife, Connie; his daughter, Lynlee; his son, Jon; his son in law, Justin; his sister, Cindy; his niece, Jennie; his nephew, James; as well as many other friends and family who loved him dearly.
He hated funerals and stuffy affairs, so to honor his wishes, his family will instead host a celebration of his life sometime this summer. Anyone who wishes to do so may honor his memory by making a donation to the American Heart Association.
