COMMENTS: Lawrence "Larry" Chimbole was born in New Haven,
Connecticut, on May 22, 1919, and graduated from Stamford High
School in 1937. After serving in World War II, Mr. Chimbole
moved to California. He ultimately settled in the City of
Palmdale where he opened a hardware store. Mr. Chimbole became
active in community politics and was instrumental in leading the
City of Palmdale into incorporation, after which, he was elected
the city's first mayor in 1962.
Mr. Chimbole went on to serve two terms in the California State
Assembly from 1974 to 1978. After his tenure in the
Legislature, he remained active in his community, serving on a
number of state boards and associations. Mr. Chimbole passed
away on November 10, 2015, at the age of 96. He is predeceased
by his wife Vicki and is survived by his children, Stephen
Chimbole and Patricia Bollman, as well as numerous grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. This resolution designating the
portion of SR 138 between the SR 138 and SR 14 Interchange and
47th Street East in the City of Palmdale as the Larry Chimbole
Memorial Highway acknowledges the significant role Larry
Chimbole played in his community.
