Larry Mintier, one of California’s great planners, passed away Friday, June 30. The cause was cardiac arrest. Larry’s family, who had gathered to celebrate the 4th of July was with him at the time.
Larry was a smart, thoughtful, and outstanding urban planner, excellent writer, and a friend and mentor to countless colleagues and co-workers, and he remained active and involved in planning his entire career. Larry was a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners (FAICP), an emeritus member and former president of the California Planning Roundtable, a 12-year board member and former president of the California Planning Foundation, and recently served as Chapter Co-Historian of APA California.
Larry was a great friend and colleague to many planners throughout the State. He was truly special. Larry has left a deeply rich legacy for California and the planning profession in addition to being a good and decent human being.
