Larry was born on Dec. 17, 1937, in rural Plymouth County, Iowa, to Albert and Anna (Peters) Krause. He was raised in rural Hinton and moved to Wisconsin in the late 1960s. Larry worked for A-Z Farm Center of Watertown, a feed mill, until his health forced his early retirement and his move to Mueller Apartments.

Larry is survived by his close companion, Kathleen Larsen of Watertown; nieces, Connie Wahlstrom and her husband, James and Sandra Muecke, all of Hinton; grandnephews and grandniece, John Visvikis, Jason Visvikis, Angie Snoozy, and Cody Muecke.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents; infant brothers, Harold and Robert Krause; and brother, Richard Krause.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Trinity Lutheran Church, 605 South Fourth Street, Watertown, WI. 53094, in Larry's name.
