Larry Pryor, a former Los Angeles Times journalist who embraced the digital world before much of the industry and whose work as a reporter and editor covering the environment spurred action on climate issues, died on July 13 of complications from Parkinson’s disease. He was 86.
Pryor, who was also a novelist and sang choir throughout his life with his wife, Gabrielle, started his journalism career at the Louisville Courier Journal in Kentucky before relocating to Southern California in 1968 to work in The Times’ Orange County edition, according to his son, Ben Pryor.
