Larry Kent Tanner

September 18, 1938 - February 26, 2018

There was a boy 

A very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far, very far

Over land and sea 

A little shy and sad of eye 

But very wise was he

 

A magic day he passed my way 

And while we spoke of many things

Fools and kings 

This he said to me 

 

The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and to be loved in return 

  • Nat King Cole  

 

Left behind husband Steven of 45 years. At Larry's request there will be no services. 

In Loving Memory

I have had the good fortune of being in Larry's realm for most of my life. His kindness and generosity toward my family throughout our childhood will live forever in our memories. His legendary stories will be passed along through generations! Rest in peace my beautiful friend. Love you forever.

Larry, I am so sorry for your loss. I think the two of you set records of the longest relationship of people I know. Good for the two of you. Also, the example you set for our "family" was so important. Please keep memories of your times together close by. They do help. Peace my friend.

My dear Steve, Without your dear Larry (the love of your life), I never would have met my Steven (the love of mine.) I still recall decades ago when you and Larry visited me at my apartment across the breezeway from Larry's. Madly in love, the two of you sat at the baby grand piano while Larry serenaded you with Cole Porte love songs. Somewhere my Steven and your Larry are smiling broadly with the knowledge that they too both found the love of their lives ... us. I wish you all the strength necessary to grieve and grow. The warmest of wishes, Richard Clegg

So sad that Larry is gone. He has been a presence in my life since the ?70's. A wonderfully kind man with fantastic stories to tell. He always had a complement for you and always remembered what was happening in your life. We will miss him terribly. Love you Steven! You certainly set the bar high both as a spouse, and as a care-giver. Denise Davis Matson

I'll miss my dear friend Larry. He was one of the kindest, gentlest men I have ever known. I'll always appreciate the positive influence he had on my grand daughters while working as their ?manny?. I'm also very grateful that he brought Steven into our lives. Larry will stay in my heart forever. Val Davis
