The Bakersfield Californian 
Laurence Harry Bennett
Dec. 19, 1946 - Feb. 7, 2005

Services: Thurs., Feb. 10, 3:00 p.m. 

Larry was born in Glendale, California on December 19, 1946 to parents, 
Laurence and Betty Bennett. The family moved to Bakersfield in 1952. He 
graduated from Bakersfield High School, class of 1964. He served in the United 
States Marine Corps as a Corporal from 1966 to 1970. He and his wife of 38 
years, Lynn, were married on April 15, 1967. Larry rode the railroads as a 
switchman with Santa Fe from 1971 to 1975. He began work at Consolidated 
Fiberglas in 1975, holding the position of Administrative Vice President at 
the time of his death. He passed away suddenly Monday, February 7th in San 
Joaquin Hospital, as a result of very aggressive melanoma.

Larry was a longtime member and elder at First Presbyterian Church. He loved 
the Lord and his family, and adored his granddaughters. He was devoted to his 
work, Rams football, the USMC, coaching and mentoring, golf and marathoning, 
and many other interests. Larry had a gift for coming alongside and 
encouraging people in their time of need. Always part of the solution rather 
than the problem, he was never one to complain.

Larry is survived by his wife, Lynn; daughter, Laurie and Kurt Hettinger; 
granddaughters, Haley and Claire Hettinger; son, Staff Sgt. John Bennett 
(USMC); father and mother-in-law, John and Anne Lenick; sister, Sharon 
McMillin; niece, Brenda Nellor and husband, Robert and great-niece, Kayla 
McMillin.

A memorial service will be held 3:00 p.m., Thursday, February 10th at First 
Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please donate to the First 
Presbyterian Church Albanian Mission Ministry.
