Larry was born on October 16, 1950, in Fort Dodge, Iowa, to Mervin and Genavee (Olthoff) Law. Larry grew up on a farm outside of Duncombe and graduated from Webster City High School in 1968. After high school, Larry enlisted in the United States Air Force, from which he was honorably discharged on October 1, 1975, from the 133rd Tac Con Squadron. Larry married his high school sweetheart, Pamela Anderson, on August 12, 1972, at St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Fort Dodge, Iowa. They made their home on a farm west of Duncombe where they raised their four children. Pamela later passed away on October 8, 2006. Larry was fortunate to have two loves in his life, marrying Barb Call September 12, 2009, where they continued to enjoy life together with shared interests.
Larry began farming in the Duncombe area with his father Mervin, his uncle Ed, and his brother Robert, and officially retired in 2017. Larry was also a volunteer firefighter for the Duncombe community. Larry was an active member of the Washington Lutheran Church, where he participated in men’s groups and served on several boards. He enjoyed hunting, riding his motorcycle, fishing, gardening, and classic cars. Larry’s family was always well fed by his creations in the kitchen.
Larry called life as he saw it and was not afraid to give his sound advice. He surrounded himself with good people who admired and respected him; everyone always knew where they stood. He had an extremely strong work ethic and lived by the motto, “Work hard, play hard.” He also loved hard and was loved by many.
Larry was preceded in death by his wife Pam, parents Mervin and Genavee Law, an infant sister, Jean, his father-in-law Leonard Anderson, brothers-in-law Doug Brown and Dave Hayes.
Larry is survived by his wife Barb, four children, Ryan (Lynda) Law, Amanda Beaulieu, Sara Law (significant other Mitch Dunham), and Craig (Kelly) Law, his step-daughters, Allison (Chris) Yungclas, Jennifer Yungclas, and Lara (Paul) Anderson, and his grandchildren, Brandon Law, Jake (Paige) Beaulieu, Addyson and Nathan Beaulieu, Logan Fox, Lucas and Leyton Brock, Blake Dunham, Nolan and Paige Law, and step-granddaughters, Evelyn and Olivia Dishong.
