Larry Walter Meyer

Larry Walter Meyer, the son of Walter and Evelyn (Ceynar) Meyer, was born December 18, 1948, in Marengo, Iowa.  He was raised and educated in the Victor area graduating from Brooklyn-Guernsey-Malcom BGM High School with “Class of 1969”.  Larry attended the University of Iowa graduating in 1972 with a degree in Civil Engineering.

     Larry was united in marriage to Barbara Knutzon and they had a son, Bradley.  He was united in marriage to Teresa Peterson and they had two daughters, Rebecca and Rachel.  Larry then married Terri Jo Spangler on July 22, 2003, in Eagle Grove.

     After his retirement, Larry enjoyed wood working in his shop where he made many music boxes and other items.  He delivered Meals on Wheels and took a lot of pride in his garden, canning produce and sharing his bounty with others.  Larry loved attending his children’s sporting events and spending time with them. 

     Larry was a member of Evangelical Lutheran Church in Eagle Grove where he served as a lector, greeter and worked in the kitchen peeling the potatoes when he was able to.  Larry was huge “Hawkeye” fan and always looked forward to all of the sports seasons.  He liked a good laugh and a good natured tease.
