Larry Rosen September 6, 1946 — September 12, 2019
Larry Paul Rosen was born on September 6, 1946 in Seattle, Washington to Paul H. and Lillie Faye Cowherd Rosen. When he was two years old his parents moved him to Edmonds, Washington, where he grew up and graduated from Edmonds High School in June of 1964. After high school he followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the US Army for four years. After the Army, he went to broadcasting school and worked as a DJ in various radio stations in Washington, Alaska, Idaho and Oregon through the mid-1990’s.
In 1969, he married his first wife Velta Ruth Henderson, and they welcomed their only child, Heather Gail in October of 1975 in Sitka, Alaska. They divorced in 1987. After a second failed marriage ending in 1996, he finally found his true love, Edith Marie McCaughan and they married in 2006. Sadly, she preceded him in death after only three loving years together.
Larry is preceded in death by his parents, one sister Gail Lynn, and his beloved wife Edie. He leaves behind one daughter Heather (Tim) Ivey, four grandchildren, Cody Ivey, Kylie Ivey, Kiersten Ivey and Caleb Ivey and one great grandson Siyles Alyea as well as two brothers Lonnie Rosen and Rick Rosen and a sister Pamela (Ray) Johnson and several nieces and nephews.
Larry enjoyed being with family, and when he wasn’t with them, he enjoyed being involved in his church and community. His greatest joy was volunteering in the local schools as a SMART volunteer. He loved reading to children making the stories come alive. His talents and caring heart will be greatly missed.

Unbeknownst to many, Larry had a very successful career as a radio announcer for KPDQ AM&FM radio for many years. It turns out our Larry was the man with a golden voice. RIP friend.

Thank you Carol for that post, even a few years after Larry's passing. I was a classmate of Larry's for several years. We never were close friends and he was a pretty quiet student who didn't seem to get involved in a lot of activities. But your post just reminds me that we so quickly make assumptions about each other without taking the time to know the person and know their story. It is fitting somehow that Larry was the voice on the radio and much loved and respected there. As I read the life sketches of so many of our classmates here I am often surprised as I "hear" the stories of their lives and accomplishments. Too bad we didn't always approach relationships that way earlier in life. We missed some great stories.

Larry lived in my neighborhood, I remember playing with him and the kids in the area. I don't remember seeing much of him thru jr high/high school. Danny and I did make a special ride to see Larry in Dallas, OR several years ago. We had a great visit reminiscing about our young years in Edmonds. Larry was very hospitable, it was great to hear about his DJ years and his family.
