Dec 12, 2025

After a life of great adventures, Larry Richard Sohlman pasted to his last great adventure on Dec. 12, 2025. He was born on March 19, 1944, in Eugene, Ore., to Ted and Mary (Cocker) Sohlman. Larry is survived by his partner of 20 years, Peggy Foster; daughter, Teresa Palmer and her husband Wade; two grandsons, Michael Palmer (Hailey) and Matthew Palmer (Anita); as well as three great-grandchildren, Miles, Willa and Bodie, all of Bend, Ore.

Larry graduated from High School in Junction City, Ore. He moved to Alaska in 1968, where he had adventures in trucking all over Alaska including the trans-Alaska pipeline and the ice road. After he retired he traveled between Alaska and Arizona for many years, where he fell in love with four-wheeling in the Arizona desert, and also loved traveling the world. He especially loved traveling by cruise ships for all the food he could eat. Larry and all his stories of his adventures will be greatly missed.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Heritage Florence Funeral Home. In honoring Larry, let us come together to reflect on the warmth of his laughter, the spirit of his adventures and the love he shared throughout his remarkable life.
