When Larry Reece arrived, 74 years ago, a creative soul full of
curiosity and adventure was unleashed; he was kind, fearless and
focused until January 16, 2024.

Larry was a humble true friend to all generations, making everyone
feel important. You could count on Larry to listen, teach, and
entertain. He taught firearm safety, freely shared his tricks of
the trade, and would call you, just 'because'. All creatures were
his friends, dogs were his love.

As a teen he wrestled, played football, and turned wrenches. The
creative Larry was an antique store owner, a talented chef, theater
patron, developer of his own black and white photography, collector of
century old music machines, and a prankster, with an infectious smile.

"Lectric" was a downtown architecture history buff, sharing folklore
transporting you to the very moment. Travel to Asia, Europe, New Zealand
and more fueled his curiosity of other cultures as he sought out unique
experiences and new friends. His work took him North to Prudhoe Bay
for the Alaskan pipeline and South to Antarctica, with many stops in
between, to work on nuclear and coal fired power houses.

"Lectric" had an uncanny ability to repair all electronic needs of City
Hall, from jail to clock tower. Just knowing Larry made you a better
person; remember Larry's smile every time you drop a coin into a music
machine. 

He is survived by siblings Tana Hazen (Les), Debbie Reece, Dan Reece,
and soul-mate Vicki Reece. Memorials Animal Humane Society. Celebration
to be announced.
