Life's Work/Service/Interests: In 1955, he married Janice Felix in the Logan Utah LDS Temple. They were happily married for 61 years. His loving wife and family were always his top priority.

In 1959, he graduated from Utah State University with a BS in Mathematics, and the California Institute of Technology, in 1965, with a PhD in Biochemistry. He was a lifelong and devoted member of the LDS Church and was constantly in the service of others as bishop, stake high council, missionary, Gospel Doctrine teacher, Scout leader, and numerous other callings. His many interests included: astronomy, family history, temple service, athletics, science, arithmetic, archeology, mathematics, engineering, woodworking, reading, physics, technology, hunting, fishing, backpacking, rock climbing, four-wheeling, and enjoying the outdoors with his family. Larre had a passion for teaching others. He worked as a professor for over 35 years, teaching at Brigham Young University, Johns Hopkins University, and Utah State University.

The culmination of this work came this year as one of his former students won an Academy Award for Computer Graphics, the topic Larre taught him at USU. He was a lifelong devoted student and loved reading and discussing science, history, the gospel and the scriptures. Larre loved sports. He was an excellent athlete as a young man and enjoyed playing and coaching baseball and basketball with his children and grandchildren throughout his life.

They oversaw the seminary and institute programs and worked closely with the LDS members in that area. They also were service missionaries at the LDS Conference Center at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Larre had a passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ and loved to share his testimony with his family and loved ones. He made those around him feel loved and became instant friends with anyone he met. He loved to make others laugh with his jokes and funny stories. His smile, laugh, and huge bear hugs will never be forgotten.
