It is with deep sadness that the Cronbaugh family announces the passing of their father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, Larry Cronbaugh of Marengo, Iowa, on May 10, 2006.

Larry Cronbaugh was born September 8, 1934 in Koszta, Iowa. He grew up working the family farmstead. Larry married Helen Mareda on November 29, 1954. The Cronbaugh family moved to rural Urbana in February 1965, where Larry continued farming for many years. The family moved to the town of Urbana in the early 1970s. Eventually, Larry retired from Blahnik Construction in Cedar Rapids, where he worked for several years.

Larry enjoyed spending time with his family, gardening, fishing, cooking, canning and watching baseball.

Larry was preceded in death by his wife Helen Cronbaugh; his son, Scott Cronbaugh; and his parents, Laurence and Wilma Cronbaugh.
Surviving are his son, Craig Cronbaugh and his wife, Marlene, of Des Moines; son, Brad Cronbaugh of Mount Auburn; daughter, Lori Beenken and her fiancé, Dennis Schoepske of Grundy Center; four grandchildren, Shane Cronbaugh, Latisha Purk, Chelsea Cronbaugh and Justin Beenken; one great-grandson, Keon Purk; and his brother, Gene Cronbaugh and his wife Joan of rural Belle Plaine.

In accordance with Larry’s wishes, cremation has taken place. At his request, no funeral will be held. Any memorial donations will be gratefully accepted in Larry’s memory to any charity of your choice. Celebration of Larry’s life will be held in our heart and his memory will live on forever.

In tears we saw you sinking, and watched you pass away.
Our hearts were almost broken, we wanted you to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us, to suffer that again?
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.

“We love you and miss you, Dad.” - The Cronbaugh family
