Larry A. Engberg, 64, of Newville, passed away on Sunday, November 14, 2010, with his wife and son, Andy by his side in Holy Spirit Hospital, Camp Hill. He was born on June 3, 1946, in Oakland, CA and was a son of the late Floyd and Elsie (Lindstrom) Engberg.

Larry graduated in 1964 from Scobey High School, Scobey, MT. In 1968, he graduated from Montana University, Bozeman, MT with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. In 1972, he received his Masters Degree in Psychology and in 1973 was awarded his PhD, both from the University of Colorado. Larry retired from Dickinson College after 30 years of service as a professor of psychology, a position he thoroughly enjoyed. His greatest joy in teaching was how he shaped his students minds and he was so proud when they went into related fields. He was a member of the Elks B. P. O. Carlisle Lodge 578, and he enjoyed fishing and doing woodworking in his workshop at home.

Larry is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 11 years, Diane E.
