Lawrence John Jerrow, 78

Lawrence John Jerrow, 78, of Spokane Valley, Washington, died Friday evening Oct. 30, 2015, in Spokane.

He was a retired fence salesman with Moran Fence.

Larry was born Oct. 7, 1937, in Kalispell to Mark William Henry and Verna Ruth (John) Jerrow.

He was previously married to Judith Elaine “Lana” Thompson, whom he wed in Kalispell on Aug. 15, 1959.

Larry was a talented machinist and welder, and he had his own small business as Larry, The Fixit Guy. He enjoyed motorcycles, guns and cowboy action shooting, but most of all he enjoyed tinkering in his shop.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother Alan (1958), and a sister Shirley Graham (1984).

An informal memorial service is tentatively planned for next April in Kalispell.
