Larry Stamp
Larry Stamp, 84, Greenwood, passed away on Friday, Dec. 2, 2022, after a short but fierce battle with cancer. A memorial service and celebration of life for Larry is being planned for the spring of 2023. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the United Methodist Church in Loyal, (109 W. Central Street, Loyal, WI 54446).
Larry was born in Daily, Mich., on Nov. 29, 1938, the son of Dorothy and Joseph Stamp. Larry was a graduate of the Michigan State Short Course Farming program and Dowagiac Union High School. In 1960, he married Anne Kauffman and they raised four children in Michigan before moving to Wisconsin in the early 1980s. Moving to Wisconsin enabled Larry to fulfill his dream of owning and operating a dairy farm. He enjoyed all things “country” and was at his happiest while driving country roads listening to country music. He also enjoyed participating in the Jaycees in his early adult years, tractor shows, treasure hunting, and woodworking. He served several years as the treasurer of the Mid-State Metal Detecting Club. Larry was a retired farmer, but he quite often worked an additional job in conjunction with farming. He spent several years working at Rudy and Jessco in Dowagiac, Mich., testing cows for DHIA, and selling for Renk Seed and various other seed companies. Larry served his country for six years in the Air National Guard as a member of the aerial reconnaissance processing team.
He is survived by his wife, Anne; three of his four children, Deb, Sandy and Allen; his grandchildren, Jamie, Katie, Lauren, Steffen, Justin, Jessi, Cole, Samantha and Nick; his sister, Penny; his sisters-in-law, Paula and Joan; and a brother-in-law, Bob.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Harold; his sisters, Jennie and Nancy; his brother, Tom; his brothers-in-law, Ed, Butch, Johnny and Jim; and his sisters-in-law, Kay and Alice.
