As a youth, Larry moved to Boise, Idaho, where he met and later married his High School sweetheart, Sheila Broadbent, on Aug. 30, 1957. Their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple a year later.
Larry had a great love of learning. He graduated from the University of Wyoming in Civil Engineering in 1959. Then, after three years in the Air Force as a Weather Officer, he returned to school at the University of Utah, where he received a Master's Degree in 1964 and a Ph.D. in 1968 in Meteorology. He then went to work in Idaho Falls for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association for 6 years before moving to Richland in 1973 to work for Battelle (PNNL) as a scientist and later as a research manager. He retired in 1995, after working on Wind Energy research. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Wind Energy Association. After retirement he spent many hours learning new things as he sat at his computer and helped others learn through tutoring.
Larry was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served as a Bishop's Counselor, Sunday School Teacher, High Priests' Group Leader, Scoutmaster, and Stake & Ward Missionary
Larry fought a long, courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease, and most recently with melanoma. He is greatly loved, and will be greatly missed.
Larry is survived by his wife Sheila; daughter Cori (Brad) Olsen of Las Vegas, NV; sons Tony (Michelle), and Darren, both of Richland; 7 grandchildren, Bryan Janae, Cameron and Shanna Olsen and Alexis, Samantha and Wyatt Wendell; brothers Max and Lloyd Wendell, Darrell Tomlinson, Roger Tomlinson, Dick Wendell, sisters Yolanda Meine, Debbie Ferris and Heidi Wendell.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents Haines Wendell, and Zella Tomlinson and brother Craig Wendell.

The biological father of Mariah Ridgway's son James Augustine Wendell was in all likelihood John, son of William D. and Effie (DeLong) Wendell, born 1833 in Ohio, died 1898 at Logan County, Illinois. Here are the documented facts available today:
- Mariah Ridgway married a John "Windall" on 21 MAR 1861 in Pike County, Ohio, per marriage record archives in the Pike County Probate Court.
- Mariah gave birth to James Augustine "Jay Gus" Wendell in July, 1861, per the 1900 census. His death certificate shows his age as 76 years, as of 39 NOV 1937.
- Mariah remarried, using her maiden name, and with her father's written approval, to Henry Clay Cave on 7 APR 1864 in Ross County, Ohio, per the Ross County Intention to Marry and marriage record.
- Mariah and Henry Cave were living in Monticello Twp., Jones County, Iowa as of the 1870 census, whereas James A. Wendell was living with her parents in Pike County, Ohio. By the 1880 census, "Gus" had relocated to be very close to his mother's residence and is found listed as "Gust", a farm laborer in a farming family one township northwest of Monticello Twp., in Milo Twp., Delaware County, Iowa. The Mariah and Henry Cave family had relocated within the year prior to the 1880 census to Plum Creek Twp., Boone County, Nebraska as evidenced by the birth location of their youngest son, age 1, of Iowa.
- A Y-DNA 37-marker test of a male line Wendell descendant of Philip and Barbara (Swartz) Wendell of Guernsey County, Ohio (the parents of Daniel Wendell whose family lived in Huntington Twp. of Ross County and of William D. Wendell whose son John Wendell and a grandson John Wendell lived in Seal Twp. of Pike County in 1860), matched with high confidence the Y-DNA of a great-grandson of James Augustine "Gus" Wendell.
