Larry was born September 3, 1940 in Greeley, Colorado the son of Revs. William Alfred and Elsie Iris Luse Redmond. Larry joined the U.S. Air Force and was stationed at Stead Air Force Base in Reno Nevada. During a visit home, his parents introduced him to a young lady who was attending their church.

That introduction was the start of a love story that lasted 65 wonderful years!

On September 3, 1965, on his 25th birthday, he married Esther Alida Knudsen in Bozeman, Montana officiated by his father.

Larry went on to college and earned his Theology Degree that enabled Larry to serve in ministry under his fathers leadership for a short time before joining the U.S. Forest Service. He was transferred to Roseburg, Oregon where a co-worker talked him into joining the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers where he had a successful career, retiring in 2009. While employed there he was stationed in KKMC, Saudi Arabia; Rapid City, South Dakota; Glasgow, Montana and retiring in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Larry was known for his sense of humor and jokes. He was witty and had some “Larry-isms” like; If something worked well he’d say,“That’s slicker than snot on a glass doorknob”. “I’m going to get some cat fur to make some kitten britches” if asked where he was going. “It will feel better when it quits hurting” and when asked why he didn’t buy his wife a Mother’s Day gift he said, “Well, she’s not my mom!”

Larry never met a stranger and he remembered everyone’s name. He made people feel loved and valued. He loved his children, his grandchildren and was thrilled to be a great- grandpa but he especially loved his wife who tirelessly cared for him until he took his last breath. Their love is an example of true love, yes, messy sometimes but always faithful, constant and never wavering!

Grandchildren; Lauren and Nathaniel Udovich, 3 great-grandchildren Aurora, Holden and Aloisa all of Trenton, Missouri, Courtney Weyer of Trenton, Missouri.
