With heavy heart and sadness, we lost a good man and loving husband in Larry on June 24, 2015. Larry was a Tulalip Tribal elder, born in 1937, Mount Vernon, Washington. Later in life, he was interested in and proud of his Native American ancestry, coming from people of the Snohomish/Hibulb Village area (North Everett/Preston Point–named after his great great grandparents), Jamestown S’Klallam and Lummi tribal ancestry. His wife, Carol and children, Laurie and Dennis by his side, Larry passed from complications of heart bypass surgery. Larry is survived by his sister, Delores (Danny) Stamaris. Predeceased by his brothers, Mannie Laurent and Lloyd Cepa; and sisters, Leone Putnam and Virginia Brumbaugh. Larry leaves behind his sister-in-laws, Caroline Cepa and Peggy (Larry) Trim. He leaves behind his special niece and nephews, Sherry (Pete) Guzman, Terry (Pam) Parker and Ron (Donna) Burns and many other nieces, nephews and cousins. The Memorial Service will be held on July 2, 2015 at the Tulalip Gym. Burial to follow.
