Lawrence J. Vigor

June 18, 1952 - April 30, 2018

Larry's body died April 30th, not long before his 66th birthday, after the gradual loss of his mind from years with Frontal Temporal Dementia. This horrible disease stole Larry's intelligence, love of history and baseball, and wry sense of humor long before he deserved. Larry is survived and sorely missed by his loving wife Linda; adoring daughter Jennifer (and her husband Benjamin); his three young grandsons; and the many people whose lives were touched by a true mensch.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at 10:00 AM at B'nai Israel Cemetery, Q Street 4th Ave, Salt Lake City. A reception will follow from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City. Guests are encouraged to use the complimentary valet parking on the north side of the building. 

In lieu of flowers, please donate to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (www.theaftd.org) in Larry's name.

 

In Loving Memory

I am so sorry for your loss! May you find comfort in the promise that we will be reunited with our loved ones again soon. John 5:28,29

Larry was my baseball and golf buddy together with Ron and Mitch. We had many wonderful moments together and miss his humor especially during a round of golf. His "Just -a-Minute" moment resulting in a Hole-in-One is something ill never forget and forever became Larry's golf phrase!! Love you Larry. May God grant you the "Just-a-Minute" shot in heaven or wherever you are.

I happened upon the notice of the passing from FTD of Lawrence Joseph Vigor. My talented beloved sister Joan, a talented actress and great mother was also afflicted with and killed by this awful disease in September 2015. I share your grief and offer my condolences.

Speaking for my entire family, we were shocked to learn of Larry's passing. We lived on the same blockin Van Nuys, CA. The friendships that developed as the kids grew were strong. Larry was funny, smart, happy and we loved him like one of our family. Our son Mitchell was best man at Larry's wedding to Linda. The memories are without end. Our hearts go out to Linda and her family.

I'm very saddened to hear about Larry's passing. I knew him from Birmingham High School. Larry was bright, friendly, and and had a sharp wit (in a good way). I appreciated being able to catch up on the past 48 years by watching the slide show. It's comforting to know he had such a lovely family to share his life with. My deepest condolences to all to you.
