Larry Duval Obituary
Leominster - Dr. Larry R. Duval of Leominster, MA, Marco Island, FL and North Fort Myers, FL passed into the arms of his loving Creator May 10, 2020 in Florida after an extended illness with Parkinson's Disease. Larry was born August 26, 1931 in New Haven, MI to Robert B. and Ruby J. (Kemp) Duval.
Larry served in the military having been a sergeant in the Army and was honorably discharged in October of 1951 as a wounded veteran serving during the Korean War Conflict. Larry followed in the footsteps of his mother and father, graduating from Palmer Chiropractic College of Davenport, Iowa in 1965.

Love you and miss you so much. Di, Kathy and I have many memories with you and we talk about them often. Di still laughs about the conversation she had with you about the nurse. About the fact that you had a different name for the nurse. :)
I miss you every day.
Love,
Kim

I could write a book describing my grandfather and his amazing journey through life that wasnt always so kind. My grandfather is/was someone I only wish I could be like! He embodied the spirit of life and his family to a fault! He was and always will be the greatest grandfather anyone could dream of having! I learned so much from him. Talk about character! Plenty, then a lot more then any one person could possibly want or expect out of someone. He had a great soul and told ya how it was whether you wanted to hear it or not! Another great of the many qualities he possessed.. My cousins and I shared half our lives with him. Watching, listening and learning.. I wish I wouldve listened a lot more!:).. My grandfather was the rock of our/my family and this void can never be filled or replaced. He is at peace in a better place with my grandmother his wife, my little brother Michael, his granddaughter and my cousin Tori, and his first born Larry. I get some comfort knowing he is with them all and his friends and parents and just everyone, ya know. So Grampy, as I grieve for you, which is so hard, I also smile for you... Love little Kevin in respect to his other son Kevin Duval whom I was named after. I have the greatest family and Im very grateful! Tell youre lived ones every night how much you love them.. Forever in mine and everyone elses heart you touched. Your grandson Kevin LaDue. I love and miss you grandpa!
