Former state Supreme Court justice dies
ALBUQUERQUE—Charles B. Larrabee, who was a New Mexico Supreme Court justice for five months in 1989, died March 29 at his Albuquerque home. He was 81.
A memorial service was not immediately scheduled.
Larrabee, a Republican, was appointed to the bench on July 11, 1989, by then-Gov. Garrey Carruthers.
He was the first Supreme Court justice chosen under New Mexico’s then new judicial selection system under which the governor appoints judges from a pool of candidates recommended by special nominating commissions.
Judges who are selected must run for the seat in the next general election.
Larrabee resigned Nov. 7, 1989, citing the demands of the job and his temperament, which he said kept him from campaigning for the job.
But fellow jurists at the time said Larrabee told them he suffered stress and depression and was under a doctor’s care around the time he quit.
Then-Justice Richard Ransom said at the time that Larrabee “addresses every job meticulously and with a great sense of responsibility.”
Larrabee was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and graduated from high school in Uruguay.
He enlisted in the Navy and served in the Pacific on the USS North Carolina during World War II.
