Obituary
Larry Randall Fairbank, 62, of Hot Springs, SD, passed away November 4, 2009, at the Fall River Hospital in Hot Springs.

He enjoyed electronics, building computers, audio systems and tube amplifiers. He also loved gardening, reading, the Black Hills region, and more cats than you can shake a stick at.

He is preceded in death by his father, Randy of Hot Springs and one brother, Bill Fairbank of CA.
