Laurence (Larry) Edwin Eritsland

Laurence (Larry) Edwin Eritsland born October 11, 1934 in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada; passed away in his home in Kent, Washington on Thursday, September 13, 2012. He will be greatly missed by his sisters, Dorothy, Marie, Rosalind and Carol, and their husbands who live in Canada. His sister-in-law Amy Eritsland and her children Jay and Carol and their children live close by and were very supportive as Larrys’ health began to fail. His many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews will also feel his loss. Larry immigrated to the United States from Canada in 1966. He was manager of the Echo Glen Childrens Center, Department of Social and Health Services. Larry loved to be outdoors at his home. He loved to go to the pond, feed the ducks, feed the many humming birds and stray cats that came his way. He also gave to many charities over the years. He was a very gentle man and will be missed tremendously by all who knew him. We love you.
