Lawrence Mervin (Larry) Terrill
October 1, 1935 – October 8, 2022
A talented artist throughout his life, Larry started drawing at the age of 5 or 6, when “he would wait for the newspaper to be delivered” and then spend his time copying the comics. Larry’s art was in demand throughout school, where he would draw posters and caricatures of classmate’s and was tapped to do the illustrations in his senior yearbook. He enjoyed a long career as a visual merchandiser, beginning with Arbaugh’s in Lansing, Michigan and continuing with a 28-year career with Jacobson’s Inc. as their visual merchandising director in Kalamazoo and Dearborn, and then as Corporate Display Director and eventually the Assistant Director of Store Planning in their main office in Jackson until his retirement.
Always enjoying travel and family life, they spent time in Somerset, Pennsylvania where he did editorial cartoons for the local paper.
Larry cartooned on local subjects for The Somerset (Pa.) Daily American from 2002 to ca. 2007.
