Laurence "Larry" Rotondi, age 67, of Keizer, Oregon, passed away on October 11, 2021 after a short illness in Corvallis, Oregon.
Larry was born on July 24, 1954, in Detroit, Michigan, to Toni and Antoinette "Betty" Rotondi (Carlo). He attended Chafey and Rio Honda College in California.

He was in several jazz bands over the years and also played drums at church, sang in the church choir, and participated in church plays.
