They were united in marriage on June 8, 1966 in Geneva, Nebraska at Larry’s family home. They were blessed with 55 ½ years of marriage. To them 3 children were born: Mike, Matt and Denise. Larry enjoyed hunting and fishing with his boys every chance he could when he was able. He also enjoyed going to Branson with his wife and daughter. He had a lifelong passion in landscaping and planting yards and loved to use his talent to help others and beautify God’s land. He loved to remind us all of his accomplishments as we drove by a yard he had seeded. He took great pride in his work and worked hard all of his life. Larry also worked for Geneva Public Schools for 41 years and enjoyed bussing the school kids back and forth to school and sporting events. It was always important to him to make sure the football field looked perfect for the high school football games. He had many wonderful memories from this time in his life. He loved visiting with the children on his bus, as well as the boys he coached on his baseball team for many years. He truly cherished all of these memories and loved keeping in touch with all of his bus kids as they grew up and had children of their own. Everyone always knew Larry was close by when they could smell the Captain Black cherry aroma of his pipe. Larry was such an avid Husker fan. He enjoyed going to Husker basketball and baseball games up until he couldn’t anymore, but mom made sure to keep track of whenever the Huskers played on TV so that dad was sure to watch it. GO BIG RED DAD!! We dressed for you today. We know you will still be cheering the Huskers on in heaven!! He loved to visit in length with people and was always willing to help people whenever he could. He definitely had the gift to gab and is catching up with everyone in heaven now.
