Larry Vandeventer It is with profound sadness we report the unexpected passing of Roland Lawrence “Larry” Vandeventer, 82, on Monday, June 6, at his home in Seal Beach. Larry was born in Olympia, Washington, to Verble LeRoy Vandeventer and Myrtle Ella (Swezey) Vandeventer.

Larry loved the opportunity to fish as well as hunt deer with his bow and arrow. Larry spent his working years with The Bureau of Engraving and worked there for more than 38 years. In retirement, he traveled between his homes in Minnesota, Arizona and California where he maintained his love of hunting, fishing and his new passion of three-wheeling. For 21 years, he loved his home at Leisure World, Seal Beach, as he was provided the opportunity to make numerous friends and join multiple groups, including his most recent connection with the lapidary community. He was an incredibly kind, patient, and supportive man, always looking for ways to help others. Larry is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Leonard Dennis Vandeventer, and his sister Amy Thornton (Dick Thornton).
