It is with sadness we have learned of the death of Luis Larrea, a long-time faculty member in the Department of Marketing. He died at home on Nov. 27. He was 90.
Larrea dedicated 28 years as a professor of International Business and Marketing at DePaul. He pioneered the creation of the cross-college, study abroad tour program and holds the record for the most tours by any DePaul professor. Mixed among his piles of books are Distinguished Teaching Awards, but his most prized awards can be found in the mountains of wedding invitations, photographs and holiday cards from his former students.
A Mass of the Resurrection, followed by a funeral reception, will be held on Monday, Dec. 12, at 10 a.m. at St. Vincent de Paul Parish Church. More details about his life and legacy are
available online.
