"On Tuesday, May 14th, 2019, Larry Wriggle passed away at the age of 89 at Avalon Care Center in Pullman, WA. He was born on November 2nd, 1929 to Gordon and Katherine Wriggle in Spokane. He is survived by his wife Nancy, their son Ken, and daughter-in-law Jeannie.

Larry was a man of incredible talent. He received his PhD in Education and became a Professor of Education at University of Idaho. He also earned a Master of Fine arts degree and created many beautiful pieces of jewelry and sculpture that have a technical and graceful style all their own. He was a superb and meticulous craftsman. He completely rebuilt three motorcycles, which he and Nancy road all over the west, and two concert grand pianos, on which he played Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin in a most sensitive way. But along with all that, Larry was a quiet, gentle, and compassionate soul who never criticized anyone because he always walked a mile in everyone's shoes."  No public service will be held and arrangements have been entrusted to Kimball Funeral Home of Pullman, WA.
