(OLDENBURG, Ind.) – A lifelong Oldenburg resident and World War II veteran has passed away.

Larry was just 17-years-old when he signed up for the Navy. He wanted to be part of the fight.

It wasn’t long after that when Larry found himself on a ship in the South Pacific. 

He survived World War II before he even turned 21-years-old.

Larry spent the rest of his life giving back to community while taking pride in the family he created.
