NELSON, Lawrence Lowe, 78, of St. George, UT, passed away September 5, 2009. Larry was born March 31, 1931 in Oskaloosa, Iowa to Clela Lowe and Leslie Raymond Nelson. Larry lived in What Cheer, Iowa and graduated from What Cheer High School on May 14, 1948. After high school, Larry enlisted in the Navy in 1948 and received an Honorable Discharge on June 13, 1952. He was a Submariner on the USS Grampus (SS-523) submarine. He was a Helmsman. On October 3, 1953 he married Isabelle Martire in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Larry went to school to become a computer engineer and worked for IBM and Control Data Corp. Larry spent three years in the Marshall Islands on the Kwajalein Atoll where he learned to fly planes and enjoyed boating, deep sea fishing, snorkeling and sailing. He backpacked in the Grand Canyon twice a year for more than 20 years. He would hike from rim to rim of the Grand Canyon in one day. Larry was a member of the Rocky Mountain Hiking Club in Colorado and was one of the original members of the Outback Hiking Club in St. George. He served as leader for 110 club hikes and held every office. Larry climbed approximately 306 mountain peaks in his lifetime. Larry always had his family with him whenever possible on his hikes. One thing his children will always remember is what their Dad said every time they were tired of hiking and wanted to go home. The end is "just around the bend." The "bend" would usually be an hour or two away! No matter where he traveled, Larry always made sure he got a hiking trip worked in, even when he traveled overseas. He was always looking to bag another peak! Larry loved the desert so it was fitting for him and Isabelle to retire in St. George, Utah. No matter where you are in St. George, every mountain or hill you see Larry climbed. Larry was able to see all of his children and grandchildren this summer and waited until the last one was able to come before heading home. Larry is survived by his loving wife, Isabelle, five children, David Terry Nelson (Joanne), Richard Allan Nelson (Eva), Denise Nelson Brown (Kevin), Lisa Nelson Hendricks (Gordon), Linda Nelson Synoground (Todd); his brothers Leslie Raymond Nelson and David Graham (Linda) and sister Helen Muir (Jim), Step mother Helen Hermanstorfer, eleven grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and one great grandchild on the way. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents and a granddaughter, Jennifer. A memorial in Larry's honor will be held Thursday, September 10, at 11:00 am at the Sun River Community Center Ballroom, 4275 S. Country Club Drive. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to an official memorial plaque to be placed at Nelson's Arch. Arrangements under the direction of McMillan Mortuary, 688-8880.
