Larry Sehie Obituary
The family moved from Flora to Oswego in 1963. He was graduated in 1965 from Oswego High School, where he had a great time participating in basketball and track. Later he was active with the Oswego Men's Softball League. His passion was his game of golf at the Fox Bend Golf Course, Oswego, in various leagues.
He was a lifetime member of the Third Ward Club in Aurora.
Larry was an avid sports fan, and truly a die-hard Chicago White Sox fan, along with the Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks.
He really enjoyed cooking and looked forward to preparing meals from the Cook's Corner recipes in The Voice newspaper.
Larry retired in 1998 from Commonwealth Edison, after 32 years of dedicated service.
He started out as a meter reader, then was promoted to Substation Construction. He worked at the Dresden Nuclear Plant and ended his early retirement at the Braidwood Nuclear Plant. He later worked for Oswego Community School District 308 as a bus driver.
He is survived by his loving wife, of 35 years, Sharon (Smart) Sehie; daughters, Laurie (Mark) Krueger of Yorkville, Kari Sehie of Aurora, and step-daughter, Yvonne (MacDonald) Hames, of Joliet; grandchildren, Ryan Davis, Rachel Davis, Lennon Sehie, step-grandson, Christopher Hames, all of Aurora; sister, Cindy (the late Victor) Hughes, of Springfield, Mo; brother-in-law, Steve (Pat) Smart of Yorkville, and a host of cherished relatives, as well as his beloved dogs, Yode and SeaSea.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Connie; his twin brother, Jerry; and brother, Joe.
Family will be receiving guests Tuesday, Nov. 22, from 10 a.m. until the time of service at noon, at Dieterle Memorial Home, 1120 S. Broadway Avenue, Montgomery.
A private family interment service will be held at a later date.

I will miss the discussions we had at the golf course about what the White Sox needed to do to improve. Larry was one of the fastest golfers you could be paired with. Before you could find your ball, Larry had already hit his and was moving on. I will truly miss our discussions and golf.

Sharon, Laurie, Kari,
We were so saddened to hear of Larry´s passing, our deepest sympathy. We haven´t seen him much the last few years but have many good memories of him as a neighbor and friend in Boulder Hill. Always enjoyed running in to him occasionally around town, always had a smile, he was a special person.

We were so sorry to hear that Larry had passed away. Larry was our neighbor for 16 years. We could not have asked for a kinder more thoughtful man to live next to us. Always ready to talk about the Sox, help out when needed but most of all always had a smile. Early in the morning you could see Larry heading down the bike path with his two dogs. You will be missed
