Larry Mills Obituary
Larry Russell Mills, age 72, beloved husband of the late Diane nee Brown; loving father of Kurt (Amanda) Mills, Stacy (William) Pernell, Kent (Heather) Mills, and Morgan Mills, dear grandfather of Adam, Austin, Brett, Ryan, Trevor, and Ashley; brother of Allan (Christine) Mills; uncle of Kate (David) Schuster; son of the late Esther and late Russell Mills; loving companion of Karen Greene; former spouse of Kendra Mills.
One of his great loves was golf. He spent the majority of his weekends on the course surrounded by friends and family. If he was not on the golf course, he was in the kitchen cooking one of his famous dishes. Larry was known for his outgoing personality, storytelling, and his passionate drive for his career (he was a proud member of the Mid-West Fastener Association). Larry was always thinking of those important in his life and he had an overwhelming love for those close to him. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and will forever be a part of our lives.

I am deeply sorry to hear that Larry is gone. He and his family meant a great deal to my family. I really appreciated that he and Allan came to the memorial for my father Nick Martino. I still remember when he offered to teach me to ride my first bicycle. Connie Martino-Woehr

I am so very sorry hearing about Larry, but I will always remember us driving down to Old Town in my TR 3 on warm summer nights to hang out and "have a few." Great times. You were always one cool guy.
