Larry D. Lickiss, age 61, of Storm Lake, passed away Monday, May 26, 2003, at his home in Storm Lake, Iowa.

Larry was born on October 9, 1941, in Quimby, Iowa, the son of Murl and Winona Fern (Jackson) Lickiss. He was baptized into his faith in the United Methodist Church.

As a child, Larry lived first in Quimby and then moved to Cherokee, Iowa, with his family where he graduated from Cherokee High School. Following graduation, he received his associate degree in electronics from Iowa State University in Ames in 1963. Larry was employed by Iowa Office Supply in Storm Lake for over 25 years.

Larry served his country with honor as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force at George Air Force Base in California from 1966 through 1970 when he was honorably discharged.

On November 30, 1963, Larry married Charlene Carole Waddell in Aurelia, Iowa, a union which lasted nearly 40 years. Their marriage was blessed with two sons and one daughter.

Larry was a member of the United Methodist Church in Storm Lake. He always considered the welfare of his neighbors and to that end, donated over 40 gallons of blood in the past 30 years.

Larry loved fishing and model railroading. He was also an avid reader and enjoyed traveling. However, spending time with his family was Larry’s most precious pastime.

Survivors include his wife, Charlene; one daughter Laura Anne and spouse Jon Lane of Lander, WY; two sons, Stephen James Lickiss and fiance Julia Husak of Des Moines, Iowa, and Anthony Paul Lickiss of Kansas City, Missouri; one brother, Neil Lickiss and wife, Anna Marie of Cherokee, Iowa; two step-brothers, Chuck Driggs of LeMars and Doug Driggs and wife Diana of Cherokee; two sisters-in-law, Marilyn Waddell and Anna Waddell, both of Aurelia; family friend, Lee Dobbs of Kansas City; and several nieces and nephews.
