Larry Allan Felber

January 23, 2018 | 6 comments

HOLMEN- Larry Allan Felber, 59, of Holmen passed away Friday, January 19, 2018. Larry was born to Paul and Aldean (Butterfuss) Felber of Tomah, WI, in 1958. He graduated from Tomah High School in 1976 and enlisted in the Army National Guard, where he served in the Headquarters Detachment of the 732nd Maintenance Battalion until he was honorably discharged in 1983. He graduated from Western Wisconsin Technical College with an Associates Degree in May of 1979. He married Donna M. Lawrence of New Lisbon, WI, on August 4, 1979. He worked as a Mechanical Engineer in La Crosse for the G. Heileman Brewing Company beginning in 1979 and continued working there through the company’s change to The City Brewery. Larry was an avid archer, and won many trophies in a variety of tournaments, and supposedly broke many records. He enjoyed fishing and hunting every chance he had. Even though he regularly bought and sold personal vehicles, his real passion was his motorcycle, which he often rode with Donna in the nicer weather months on all kinds of road trips. If a game of euchre happened to break out, Larry was the first to jump in, and also the first to call a “miss deal.” He had a witty sense of humor and a way of putting those around him at ease in any given situation. He enjoyed a good joke, telling a good story, and most of all, good people. His greatest joys were bringing up a family, being with friends, his grandchildren and, despite what he might say, keeping the brewery running smoothly.

Not only was he a great father with a warm heart, he was good man.

He is survived by his wife, Donna; his four children: Adam (Joni), Joshua, Jacob and Haley; his four grandchildren: Elijah, Ava, Nora and Wyatt; his brothers: Dennis (Jackie) and Kevin (Cindy); as well several aunts, uncles and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents Paul and Aldean, as well as numerous aunts and uncles.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, January 26, 2018 at Holmen Lutheran Church, 228 Morris St. Holmen, WI.  Visitations will be held from 4:00 pm until 6:00 pm on Thursday, January 25, at Coulee Region Cremation Group, 133 Mason St. Onalaska, and also one hour prior to the service at the church.

    I am so sorry to hear about Larry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I remember years ago when I used to babysit the boys when your family lived on French Island. Memories are so precious. Stay strong Donna. If you need anything I am a phone call away.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I was very good friends with Larry in high school. I always thought that we would be able to get back together after we both had time from work. We had awesome times at sawdust and fishing on zoo island in Canada. Thinking of you and your family.
