Lawrence “Larry” Johnston ’51 was born on Sept. 4, 1929, in San Francisco to Lawrence Leo and Ruth Commins Johnston. He graduated from Santa Clara University before serving in the Army. Upon his discharge, he had a successful and rewarding career with Bank of America. His extensive volunteer work included Stanford Hospital Eucharistic Ministry, the Salvation Army, St. Francis Center, and the Menlo Park Historical Association.

Patriarch of his family and absolutely loved by his community, he was Irish by roots but Italian in sensibility and a lover of Manhattans, good food, fine shoes, Fox News and all things Menlo Park. Larry passed away on Jan. 11, 2016, in his home surrounded by his family. He is survived by three sons, Tim (JoAnn), Dan, and Walter; his wife, Lynne; and their daughter, Molly. Larry was blessed with five grandchildren who loved him dearly: Caitlin, Allison, Kyle, Nadine, and Cole. He is also survived by his sister, Eveleen Lopez, as well as many nieces and nephews.
