HOPEDALE - Larry Lee Noreuil, 74, of Hopedale, formerly of Pekin, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 31, 2018, at Hopedale Nursing Home.
He was born on April 30, 1944, in Carlinville to Antone and Jennie Conterio Noreuil. He married Cynthia Francesca Rossi on December 28, 1968, in Hopedale. She survives.
He is also survived by his children, Andrew (Lynne) Noreuil, Nicole (John) Scherer, Phillip Noreuil, Christopher (Jamy) Noreuil and Francesca (fiancée, Richard Morgan) Noreuil; grandchildren, Augustus, Theodore, Benedict, Gwendolyn, Alex, Olivia, Connor, Madilyn, Victoria and Dominic; brother, Stephen (Patricia) Noreuil; and sister, Paulette Weghorst.

I enjoyed working with Larry very much. He was always supportive of families and would go out of his way to help people in any way he could. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

The Koehne family is deeply saddened to learn of Larry's passing. Larry was the the big brother type who told you the truth, not what would make you feel good. He was an able public servant and mentor to countless others, regardless of party affiliation. He enriched the life of this Republican.
