Larry lived in Spokane for over 50 years. He graduated from West Valley High School. In 1972, he graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa and started his practice in Spokane. While attending college he met and married Anita Danielson. Amy blessed their family in 1970.

In 2001 Larry met Carolyn Young and relocated to the Tri-Cities. They married in 2002. Five years later, they moved to Prosser. Larry managed the Lower Valley Memorial Gardens in Sunnyside. Larry was passionate about flying. He was president of the Prosser Experimental Aircraft Association. He enjoyed spending time with his fellow "wing-nuts" and flying his Ercoupe. He was the heart and soul of the Prosser Fly-In for the past 3 years.
In his free time, Larry loved to travel. He was very fond of cruises and recently cruised to Alaska and the Carribean. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his family. He loved to spoil his kids and grandkids and was affectionately called "Papa".

As hard as it seems, we get through this difficult time and emerge as stronger individuals.
We are always around to help through this trying period.
So sorry to read about Dr. Montague’s demise. I was a patient of his in Spokane when he had his Chiropractic career and he helped me when I had problems with my back. My condolences to the family. I moved to the tri-city area some 19 yrs ago and was surprised he had moved also.
Sincerely, Phyllis Sivills

I can’t believe your gone. Not only were you a coworker but a friend things won’t be the same without you. I will miss hearing “hey there kiddo how you doing ?”every time I saw you. Carolyn I’m so sorry for your loss if you need anything please let my Mom or I know. -Heidi from Lower Valley Memorial Gardens
I am so sorry for your loss. My husband passed away almost 2 years ago and Larry was so helpful and compassionate when helping us purchase the plot and grave marker. I have not forgotten his kindness and how comforting he was. You have my condolences and I will keep you all in my thought.
Oh Carolyn, I’m so sorry to hear…a friend teacher mentioned it to me tonite.
Can’t imagine how awful this must be for you. Although we lost touch w/each other in recent years, I knew you’d found a loving & fun man to spend your life with. I’m glad you had wonderful years w/Larry but sorry there weren’t many more! Sending you love & hugs from your oldest friend from grade school. Geez! Much Love, Marilin Mimi as your dad always called me.
Dearest Carolyn,
I was so saddened to hear of Larry’s death. He was a good friend and when he took me flying for my retirement gift, I was thrilled beyond belief.He was such a big help to me in the funeral business, but even more than that, the friendship of both of you was a very special gift. I can’t be at his Memorial Service, as I am in Puyallup trying to repair some nerves in my leg due to back surgery. If it’s o.k., I would love to come and visit when you are ready for visitors.I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you and Larry in my prayers. Love you.
