Larry Duane Field

Larry Field, of Plover, passed away November 18, 2025, at Edenbrook of Wisconsin Rapids, at the age of 87.
Larry was born September 4, 1938, in Janesville, WI. He grew up in Milton, WI, attending local schools and graduating from Milton High School in 1957.
Larry dedicated much of his life to serving his country in the US Navy. Even in his later years, he worked diligently to support his local military veterans. He enjoyed his monthly "Veteran Time" with his Navy and other military friends. He was also proud to help transport veterans to doctor's appointments. Larry truly lived a patriotic life.
Larry loved to spend time with his family and enjoyed having a beer with his wife, Carol, and neighbors. They happily called it "Old Folks Happy Hour". Larry had a natural interest in technology and computers. He also had a soft spot for canine friends; there was never a dog in his vicinity that he wouldn't stop to pet. Larry's big heart and quick wit will be sorely missed.
Larry is survived by his beloved wife, Carol; his children, Dan, Brian (Lena Shohet), and Chris Field and Jullie Purkapile; his grandchildren, Krystal Field, Thomas Field (Samantha Bielinski), Sandy Field, Robert Field, Hannah Purkapile, Lauren Purkapile, Sienna Field and Ethan Field; and great-grandchildren, Paige and Jade Field.
