LARRY FORMO
Larry E Formo, 59 was born and raised in Centralia, WA to Clarice and Ivar Formo on September 25, 1951.
He graduated from Centralia High School in 1969. Larry was an avid Harley rider and built numerous bikes. He also loved Hot Rods if it went fast Larry loved it! If he wasnt riding or working on bikes, he was talking about them. Larry joined the Army in 1972. He served his country as a Track and Wheel Vehicle Mechanic until 1975 including a tour to Korea/Vietnam receiving a National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and Sharpshooter M-16. After returning from Korea, Larry attended Centralia College and got his Bachelors Degree. In 1981, Larry met his wife Ann in Olympia, WA and then in 1983 they moved to Richland, WA. In 1984, Larry was blessed with his only child his son Erik. Larry worked as a Millwright, Construction Supervisor and Planner for various contractors at the Hanford Site from 1983-2005 when he retired due to health issues.
Larry is survived by his wife Ann, son Erik Molly, stepdaughter Amy Richard Wilburn, stepson Nathan Kim Cummins, grandchildren Kaleb Formo, Richela and Amani Wilburn and Ethan Cummins, sister Lorraine Ted Hurst, nieces Susie Hurst and Candi Burchell, nephew Paul Judy Hurst, cousins Janet Dwayne DuVall, Connie Irish and cousins in Norway Mathilda Skamsar, Aslang Kirkeby and Arne Haugen along with numerous extended family and friends.
Larry will be deeply missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a great father and grandfather, husband and most of all a great friend. He is now riding his Harley with the Angels on an endless journey. Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul.

Dear Annie and family, we were deeply hurt hearing of Larry’s passing since it was something that should not have happened….but since it did, he is the lucky one.. he is out of the trials of living on earth, and in Heaven talking to angels and our LORD. May GOD richly Bless you all and give you the strength needed to carry on until its time to go meet him.. LOVE to all…
well brother I”ll always love ya but the next time our trails cross I”m gonna kick your ass, a big old sneaker wave up along your thick norwiegen head may GOD take you in his arms and give you the peace you seek and bless all those you”ve left behind .
I had the privilege of meeting Larry only a few times. He was always very nice and very friendly. A trait he passed on to his son Erik. I know that Larry loved his family very much and he will be missed by many, many people. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to the Formo family. Treasure your memories – they will help you through the hard times.
Despite the rough and tumble persona, Larry was one of my favorite customers. Very kind and willing to give praise that profoundly impacted me. He made me feel good as a person. I was blessed to know this man.. And he looked damn good in that Trailblazer SS. Rest in peace my friend.
Larry and I have been friends for over 40 years. As Larry would say, “Run hard and don’t drink cheap whiskey.” It’s been a he** of a ride and I hope he is now resting in peace. He has left us with wisdom that will stay with all of his family, brothers and sisters until the day we rest. Safe passage, brother.
Love, Rick and Family
