Laurence Ray Danielson (Larry) passed away peacefully on September 3, 2024, at the age of 94. The son of Lutheran missionaries, he was born on June 22, 1930, in Tanganyika (now Tanzania), Africa. 


Larry spent much of his early life in Africa. After a family sabbatical in Lindsborg Kansas, he and his mother, along with his five siblings, survived the shelling of their ship, the Zamzam, by a German raider and had to return to the United States instead of joining their father in Africa.
