Larry J. Burgess
Larry passed away on November 9, 2015. He was born on October 7, 1950 in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 65 years ago while his father was employed by the Aramco Oil Corporation. He grew up in Redondo Beach, California.
His education included a Bachelor Degree in Chemistry from Humboldt State University as well as a Bachelor Degree in Pharmacy from Oregon State University. He was employed as a California pharmacist for the last 38 years and spent most of his employment at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in San Francisco.
Larry was loved for his outrageous and wry sense of humor as well as his tremendous and spirited outgoing nature. His generosity to everybody and all that he touched was evident in the manner which he helped and cared for people. He was approachable and affable --- so easy to be around. Larry was happiest while hiking, backpacking or just being in the outdoors with nature. The peak of his passion was sport car racing and fast times at the racetrack with his son, Loren.
Larry is survived by his son Loren and Wife Nora who both reside in Pacifica. He has a sister Kathleen and brother-in-law Bill Schlaudecker who reside in Portland, Oregon.
