Larry Pope

EASLEY — Former Baptist Easley chief financial officer Larry Pope, who celebrated his 33rd anniversary with the organization before retiring last month, will be honored during a reception at the hospital from 2-4 p.m. on Oct. 28.
Pope has been married to his wife, Diana, for nearly 38 years, and they have three daughters (V, Michelle and Lauren), four granddaughters and two grandsons. When he is not at work, Pope can be found on stage with the Flashbacks, where he plays bass guitar. He also loves traveling with his wife.
Pope said the thing he enjoyed most about working at Baptist Easley was the family atmosphere and the people. He takes pride in Baptist Easley and in the people with whom he worked. To those “under” him on the organizational chart, he provided more of a feeling of working “with” than working “for.”
“Larry Pope is extremely valued by the organization,” hospital CEO Michael L. Batchelor said. “He is a model for our standards of behavior – integrity, compassion, excellence, dignity, and teamwork.”
