Larry was born in Toledo, Ohio March 12, 1944 and passed away in Yuma, AZ on May 3, 2022.

He battled with COPD and heart conditions for several years before his passing.

Larry is surviving by his loving wife, Babe Burton, of 39 years.

He is also survived by six siblings, Jan Billups, Melody Spitler, Becky Patterson, Wendy Brown, Jay Johnson and John Richards, Four Children Susie Lowry, Lori Burton, Jackie Jennings, and Larry Burton Jr., and two stepchildren, Shane Carey and Codi Branson.

He was proceeded in death by his brother Bruce Johnson.

Larry was a proud Navy veteran, and he flew the flag in his front yard until the day he passed away.

Larry worked for Husman Refrigeration in Seattle, WA for over 30 years. He retired in Yuma, AZ in 2013 where he kept busy with all his friends and family.

Larry enjoyed fishing, playing pool, and listening to old country music, one of his favorite songs was by Mac Davis, "It's hard to be humble".

He was very dedicated to his "work schedule" where he would be at the Moose Club from 1-3, Eagles Club 3-5 and then home for Wheel of Fortune, dinner, and bed. Larry even had a T-shirt he would wear that outlined his daily schedule.

Larry was known for his funny t-shits that all his friends looked forward to reading and sharing their daily life.

He had a lot of friends, but most of the time he was quite in a crowd, he would always way you can learn a lot by listening.

We will all miss this great man that we all loved so much!

Larry always said that Yuma was Gods waiting room. A celebration of life will be planned for the first part of November as all his snowbird friends will be back in Yuma.

We will post a date as the time get closer, so you can plan to be in Yuma, and raise a "MGD" to say a final farewell to this wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

Sincerely Babe Burton and family
