October 23, 1944 – March 23, 2025 Larry Johnston was a fixture of Sanchez Street and a fan of Bombay Saphire, up with a twist. He grew up in Vallejo, joining the Navy in his youth.
He traveled the world, spending time in Germany for his career, and worked at the San Francisco Planning Department until he retired.
Larry was a dedicated and thoughtful friend, congenial traveler, and convivial dinner companion. A mind like a steel trap, he could recall names, places, and events at the drop of a hat.
Larry experienced balance challenges that affected his mobility for a few years. He later passed away from a heart attack. Following cremation, his remains were interred beside his brother, Gary, at Skyview Memorial Lawn in Vallejo.
