Larry Lindberg’s life and spirit will be celebrated on Father’s Day, June 21, from 2-4 p.m. at Orcas Center. All who would like to remember and honor him are welcome.
Larry passed away on Feb. 23, 2015 “reluctantly, but peacefully, at his home on Orcas Island with his family present …, after a 3-yr struggle with heart and kidney failure.
“His infectious love of life, his kindness, his dedication and love of his family, and his ability to make everyone feel special and appreciated influenced thousands of people throughout his careers in education and retirement planning. Early in his career he started California’s first Migrant School for Farm Workers and organized Sausalito’s School District to improve equal rights for minorities. He co-authored three elementary school science books about pollution and accredited high schools in California and Hawaii.
“But he was most proud of his beloved family. His survivors include his wife Heidi, her two children Kristin (Don) Palmer, and Peter (Teri) Sternkopf, and grandchildren Sarah Palmer; and Payden, Nolen, and Ryen Sternkopf. He’s also survived by the mother of his children, Barbara Whitehead Lindberg LeCount, their two children Arne (Anne) and Helen (Tom Kunhardt) Lindberg, and grandchildren Anson and Ava Lindberg; and Ursula Kunhardt, and Vanessa Kunhardt Bell.
“His lovely spirit endeared him to all who knew him and will be celebrated on Father’s Day, June 21, from 2-4 pm at Orcas Center on Orcas Island.” (from https://theorcasonian.com/memorial-service-for-larry-lindberg-october-2-1925-february-23-2015 )
