With deepest sadness we announce the passing of Larry L Lagradi
lla (76 yrs old) Saturday 30 March 2024 after a year long battle with heart disease.
Larry's curiosity, inquisitivness, and keen intellect drove all his life's pursuits. From an early age Larry was a force of nature, with a brilliant mind ready to be filled with knowledge about everything and anything.
Larry mostly loved Little Debbie snacks, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Milky Ways, watching cartoons, and making people smile, but not necessarily in that order.
Larry was great at always making sure that you felt welcome, even if he was just meeting you for the first time. He was sure to bring a smile to your face with one of his "dad" jokes or some other whitty comment. Larry had one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen, that's why the decision to leave the love of his life, Gloria after 54 years of marriage was so hard for him.
Some of Larry's more recent passtimes included; gambling, watching Hell's Kitchen, solving trigonometry or calculis equations, sleeping and spend time with his family, especially with his "partner in crime" Monroe, again not specifically in that order.
Even though Larry was an introvert by nature, anyone who had the pleasure of actually knowing Larry personally knew what a kind, funny, positive, genuine soul he had and he will be missed dearly by all who loved him.
Larry leaves behind his one and only true love Gloria, their only daughter Susie, son-in-law Gabe Valdez, grandson Santino and three great-grandchildren; Monroe, Mathias and Melyina, and many other family members and friends that loved him dearly.
Memorial contributions in Larry's honor can be made to the family for later designation.
There will be no visitation as the family has honored Larry's wish for creamation.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1pm Tuesday 16 April 2024 at
Bohlander Funeral Home
