Larry Paul Stanford, age 83, went home to be with Jesus September 19, 2023. His family was blessed to be with him when he passed. No one could have been blessed with a better father and husband. He was a perfect grandfather and great-grandfather. Larry was the best "advice giver". Sometimes it wasn't the advice you wanted to hear, but it was always the best. Born June 15, 1940 to Harold and Dorothy Stanford. Larry graduated Muncie Central High School in 1958, and graduated Ball State University in 1962. He taught and retired from Southport High School. Larry founded and was the first men's gymnastics coach for Southport. In 1977, Larry was awarded the Indiana High School coach of the year.
Larry is survived by his wife Judy of 61 years, his sister Sandra Abbott of Muncie, Indiana, 5 children, Lisa Minor, Patrick Stanford, Stacy Troutner, Anne Utterback, and Daniel Stanford, 16 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life service will be held at 1:00pm with visitation from 10:00am to 1:00pm on Wednesday, September 27th at Calvary Lutheran Church, located at 6111 Shelby Street, Indianapolis, IN 46227.

Judy, Dan and family--I am so sad to hear about Larry's death. You are in my thoughts and prayers! I would be at the funeral but I have a medical procedure and Brian is out of town with his job but we both have fond memories and will keep you all in our prayers! Paula Fisk
