Longtime Moses Lake resident Larry Earl passed away Thursday, Feb. 15, 2007, of natural causes.

He spent his childhood and school years in Bunkerville, graduating from high school at age 17 in 1942. He was active in high school sports, playing but never the star of the teams. His family moved to Meridian, Idaho in 1942 where he farmed with his father until being drafted into the army in May 1946. He trained in California, Utah and Oklahoma before shipping out to Europe. He saw action in France, Germany, Belgium and Czechoslovakia, mainly in the rear lines shooting big guns. After the war he returned to Boise where he married Renee Burnett. They were married April 12, 1949, in the Latter day-Saints Idaho Falls Temple. Larry had a dairy farm in Meridian with his father until it was sold in 1955. At that time the family moved to Moses Lake where he resided until his death. He worked a variety of jobs until settling in at Carnation/Nestle for 20 years. The Earls had an acreage in Cascade Valley where they raised cattle, pigs, chickens and a large garden. Larry was a dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in a variety of church callings including positions with the elders, seventy and high priests. He and Renee served two church missions in their later years to the Philippines and Pennsylvania. He served nine years in the Seattle Latter day-Saints Temple and three years in the Columbia River Temple. He took great pride in his family and their activities. All seven of his children served Latter day-Saints church missions. Larry was preceded in death by his wife Renee.

Richard E. Keeney

Richard E. Keeney, 86, longtime Warden resident, passed away at his home on Feb. 7, 2007, following a long battle with cancer. R.E. "Dick" Keeney was born on Oct.13, 1920, in Coleman County, Texas to Thomas Ernest and Georgia Lobstein Keeney. He grew up east of Coleman, Texas on land originally purchased by his grandfather, Isaac Keeney. He was baptized in Jim Ned Creek in 1934. In 1939 Keeney joined the U.S. Army at Ft. Bliss, Texas. His duty assignment sent him to Seattle, Wash. where he met Mary N. Neergaard. They were married on June 6, 1943. He was discharged from the Army as a Staff Sergeant in 1945. Dick and Mary spent seven years in Seattle where two children were born to them, John Richard and Georgia Ann. In 1950, the family moved to Grandview, Wash. where Dick took up farming until 1962. Two more children were born to them while in Grandview; Mary Christine and Kathryn Elizabeth. In 1964, the family moved to Othello where Dick held the position of general manager for Labbee Mint Farm's Columbia Basin farming operation. On Nov. 10, 1973, Dick married LaDawn Woolley Maw and soon after moved to Warden where the couple built a home and started a machine shop business. Dick entered the political arena in 1992 when he was elected mayor of Warden and served the city in that capacity through December 2003. His position as mayor of Warden led Dick into many areas of civic service. He was a member and chairman of the North Columbia Community Action Council, chairman of the Big Bend Economic Development Council and chairman and founder of Grant Transit Authority. In 1995, The Washington State DOT honored Dick "for outstanding service in promoting public transportation in Washington State" and in 1999 his name was added to the Wall of Fame by the Washington State Public Transportation and Rail Conference. Dick served as president and eight-year member of the Big Bend Resource Conservation and Development Council and was a 10-year member of the board of directors for Cities Insurance Association of Washington. He was most recently Ombudsman of the area's Aging & Adult Care Agency. On March 15, 2004, American Legion Post 209 cited Dick for over 50 years of continuous Legion membership. He was also a member of the Warden Kiwanis Club. Dick was an avid fisherman, fishing various lakes, rivers and reservoirs around the Northwest with his longtime friend, Bill Bisnet. One of his dreams was accomplished when he landed a salmon on the Deschutes River of north central Oregon. Dick was preceded in death by his former wife Mary in 1993. He is survived by wife LaDawn of Warden, son John Richard of grass Valley, Ore., daughters Georgia Bruce of Kennewick, Cris Nielson of Eagle Mountain, Utah and Kate Banaszak of Rapid City, S.D.; Son Richard John Sherbon of Puyallup, Wash.; stepchildren LuAnn Presnell of Othello, Steve Maw of Ronan, Mont., Stacy Maw of Candian, Okla., and Duane Maw of St. George, Utah, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
