Lawrence “Larry” “Norton” Nyhoff, age 64, met his Lord and Savior on Friday, Dec. 2, 2016. He was born on Jan. 4, 1952 in Calgary, Alberta, and adopted at six weeks of age to Herman and Barbara (Hamstra) Nyhoff. Along with his parents and sister, he moved to Lynden in 1960.
Larry attended Lynden schools and retired from the City of Lynden Public Works Department after 42 years of service. He also did custom field work for Lynden-area farmers. Larry enjoyed every minute of his retirement — loving his grandchildren, restoring John Deere tractors, doing yard work and meeting friends for coffee at the Fairway Cafe.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife, Elaine; daughter Darlene Cramer of West Richland, Washington; son Michael (Stacy) of Lynden; grandchildren Cole and Bryce Cramer, and Easton, Mikiya and Reese Nyhoff; sister Emma Johnson; special nephew Gavin Johnson; and many other relatives and friends.
A celebration of life service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, in First Reformed Church, 610 Grover St., Lynden.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Whatcom Hospice Foundation, 2806 Douglas Ave., Bellingham, WA 98225.
