LARRY'S STORY
Larry Rescoe, philanthropist, inventor, businessman and community leader, was welcomed through heaven’s gates on December 9, 2021. Larry was dedicated to his community as a loyal board member, donor and fund holder.
In 2010, Larry decided to open a Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation. From that time on Larry supported so many deserving nonprofit organizations in this community and beyond. In 2019, as a part of our Donor Appreciation celebration, Larry was chosen as Philanthropist of the Year. He accepted the recognition with humility, stating, “I am honored to receive this award. God commands us to give 10% of our income to help his work. I have given my time and money, knowing that I can’t give enough. God has given me my talents for a reason–to help others.” Larry liked using his Donor Advised Fund to do all his annual giving because of the ease and flexibility.
Shortly before Larry’s death, he decided to make a substantial gift to his fund and endow his fund, making it a permanent fund that will support his favorite charities in perpetuity. By taking these simple steps, Larry’s Legacy of Giving will go on to impact our community FOREVER! We dedicate this tribute to him, as we push forward inspired by the memories we made with him and the legacy he left behind.
To know Larry Rescoe was truly a blessing. Thank you Larry, for your generous heart that was always ready to help another in need.
