April 15, 1937 - January 14, 2025
It is with great sadness that I must announce the passing of my dearly loved father, Larry Siegel West at the age of 87. He was more than just a dad, he was a great gift from God to be treasured my whole life.He passed away peacefully in his home. He will be missed dearly and always remembered by family and friends. His wife, Linda C. West, preceded him in 2008. He leaves behind his only daughter, Lana West Vilhauer and Glen Vilhsuer family, and many friends and other extended family. Daniel, Isabela, America, and Maximiliano Gonzalez Martin family whom he loved very much, and they will miss him dearly, and will always think of him fondly with love.
He had a great life, and was such a blessing for all who loved him. He leaves behind a wonderful legacy and so many memories that his only daughter, Lana L West Vilhauer will always cherish and will always remember. He was as sharp as a tack, and so full of love and humor to the very end. He had many hobbies and interests and always stayed busy. He especially enjoyed his love for jewelry and belt buckles and cowboy boots, and had quite the knack for designing his own belt buckles and jewelry. He loved visiting Daniel and his family and loved the food that Isabella made for him and the loving companionship they shared. He was always close to the Lord and always nice to everybody. Everyone who met my father always loved him right away! His daughter is quoted as saying, he was the best father any girl could ever ask for! Perfect, and loving and always with his whole BIG loving heart!!! So very few great ones out there but I had a great one who is was and always will be, full of Sweet Love, Very proud and honorable , always bravery, honesty, integrity, and loyalty!
100% TRULY GOLDEN
Thank you, Father I love you forever!
Daniel and Family:
I met Larry West in 2013. My first impression was that he was a pick it client. I like him because pick it clients are very intelligent and bring great ideas to my profession. Larry always challenged me to be better as a professional and a human being. He advised me and taught me about life. He was ahead of his time. Always asking for products that have not even been thought of or invented. He always wanted to be ahead of the game with the latest technology. Through the years we developed a great friendship and he became part of my family. He loved my family and my family love him. Larry was Not only smart, he was a man of principles, and integrity. He was kind, respectful and caring, over all a great human being. He was fun to be around always had a joke, story or riddle for everyone he met. At his age his mind was sharp but just in case he made google his friend. He was a warrior he would be out and about even though he had to go through extreme pain. He appreciated every single day. Good bye Larry thank you for being a great friend you will be missed. Friends like you are hard to find. Good luck to you may the spirit of love be always with you.
I love you to the moon and back My Sweet Dad
