Fairfield, Maine Larry Kempton Pamphrey, 82, passed away at the Maine Veterans Homes in Scarborough Maine on November 2nd, 2023 with his daughter, Libbi, at his side. Larry was born on February 2nd, 1941 in Norridgewock Maine son to Lena (Stickney) and Elmer Pamphrey. He attended Lawrence High School and then went on to the Army where he attended electronics school and then jump school at Ft. Bragg NC and became a member of the 82nd Airborne. Afterward he attended Wentworth Institute in Boston and then UMO studying electrical engineering. His first job in the electronics industry was at the National Semiconductor in South Portland in 1966. Larry continued to pursue the electronics industry until 1986. In 1986 Larry was inspired to create sports fields at LHS that reflected the same level of pride that the athletes had in their school. He took courses in turf management and turned the sports complex into a show piece. He loved that this brought him closer to the kids, parents and the camaraderie of school sports. You could always find Larry making rounds to the fields moving sprinklers, walking the turf or mowing the grass! Larry had deep love and pride for his kids, family and friendships. He enjoyed being outside camping, fishing, gardening and exploring new places with his friends and family. Lasting memories were made at the family camp in Unity, Brassua Lake, in California with his girls and with his lifelong friends. He is predeceased by his parents, Lena and Elmer Pamphrey, his sister, Pamela Dyer and his son, Randy Pamphrey. He is survived by his daughters Libbi Pamphrey of South Portland, Heather Wilson and her husband Dan of Fairfield and by Kenneth Pamphrey and his spouse, Michael of Fairfield along with his grandson, Derek Pamphrey of Waterville. He is survived by his sister, Joyce Decker and his sister Pam Dyer's children. Heartfelt gratitude to the nursing staff at Maine Veterans' Homes and Oak Grove Center. Larry found care, friendships, and love at both places during and after the pandemic.
