On Wednesday August 27, 2025; As the noon church bells were about to ring; Larry got the answer to the age old question: '"Where can I catch the biggest bluegills?"

Yes, Larry was a man that loved a good joke. He knew life was short and felt it shouldn't be taken too seriously. His positive attitude and smile always lit up a room.

He loved the outdoors. There was no place he'd rather be then fishing, camping, feeding birds, walking his dog "Rosie', and of course working a grill. He always made sure his family was kept well fed with "Turkey Franks", "Smokie Links", "Cheddars" , and "BLTs".

Sports was also his pastime. There wasn't a game he'd miss. Packer Season won't be the same...

He was born in Langdon, North Dakota March 6, 1956 to the late Harold & Margaret Schwartz. The family moved to Cudahy, Wisconsin when he was a small child. Here he set his roots and started his own family.

Larry is survived by his Beloved wife Darlene. His children William and Vicky; step children Brenda and Raymond; and grandchildren Anna, Lauren, and Logan.

He is further survived by brother Jeff (Sandy) and sister Barbara (Chris)Wacker as well as many other family members and friends.

Larry worked at Silgan Containers for 25 years and volunteered at the Kelly Center in Cudahy. He will be missed by all.

Celebration of Life for Larry Schwartz will be held at Joe's K Ranch located at 4840 South Whitnall Ave. on September 7th from Noon till 3pm.

Please wear your favorite sports t-shirt or fishing t-shirt.
