Larry Burns Long was born Sept. 27, 1938, to Clarion and Martha (Schipull) Long in Burt. He received his education from Armstrong Public School.

Larry farmed in the Armstrong/Ringsted area for many years. On Sept. 30, 1971, Larry was united in marriage to Mary A. Rezac in Coleman, S.D. Together the couple made their home near Dell Rapids, S.D., where they farmed and raised livestock. Larry and Mary later returned to Armstrong before moving to Fairmont.

Larry enjoyed living life to the fullest. He cherished time spent with friends and family over a cup of coffee. Visiting casinos and attending auctions were a favorite pastime of his as well. His zest for life will be greatly missed by those that loved him and called him friend.

Left to cherish his memory are his sisters, Charlotte Ewing and her husband, Gary, of Estherville, Carol McDonald and husband, Lenny, of Storm Lake, Donna Lane of Wallingford, and Betty Hollund and husband, Richard, of Wells, Minn.; a sister-in-law, Marsha Long; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family, and a host of friends.
