Surf &Turf. And More Surf!

A very much loved member of our surfing community has passed away. Larry Ugale Sr., passed away the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 17. 2005.

Larry was a very loving and giving person, a man who lived "Aloha." He was a proud member of the Ventura Surf Club and loved to surf Mondos. If there was a swell, that's where you'd find him, quick to give you a shaka and words of encouragement.

Larry was born on Maui. He lived in the South Bay area and eventually moved north to Ventura. We were all blessed to have him in our lives and he will be missed immensely. We love you Larry!

He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Christine; son, Larry Jr.; daughter, Andrea and her husband, Mark; beloved grandchildren, Derek, Devin and Kayci; mother, Florenda Ugale; brothers, Melvin and Desmond; sister, Francine; along with many nieces, nephews and cousins.

There will be a candlelight vigil at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24, at Surfer's Point in Ventura. There will also be a memorial paddle out at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 27 at Surfer's Point. A potluck will follow.

Donations, in lieu of flowers, may be sent to Larry Jr. in care of Ventura Surf Club, P.O. Box 6305, Ventura, CA 93006.
