Larry's smile and dedication to the agricultural community and the FFA will be missed. His pride in having been an FFA officer in high school was surpassed by his pride in his children and grandchildren who served as FFA officers, earned the State and American FFA Degree and provided leadership to the organization. My sincere sympathy to the entire Grebel Family.

I remember Larry from Green Giant as well. I thought I remembered his tractor was a Minnie but that's what 50+ yrs. do to a fading memory. He was a good-natured man and I did get to visit with him several times when he was in the hospital. He still had a smile on his face. God be with you Larry! Jim Hankes

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of Larry. God will give you strength to go on knowing Larry is in heaven..

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked in the Farm Department at Fleet Farm and it was always a pleasure to see Larry. He always brightened my day. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

The Grebel Family, Jill and I are sorry to learn of Larry's passing. Larry was such a neat guy. He was so patient and understanding when working with this inexperienced rookie sweetcorn truck driver. Larry allowed me to get my feet wet and I sure enjoyed driving for him. For that, I will be forever grateful. He was always a good sport when everyone would kid him about his slow moving 930 Case he had in the canning factory. We put it in the back when transferring from field to field. Those were the good old days. Jill and I always made sure we said hello on Fridays when we visited the Remembrance Home. It was cool to see his immaculate room and tractors on display. Unfortunately, Covid put a stop to our visits. Now, Larry gets to enjoy the rewards of his labor. He is home for Christmas. Rest In Peace Larry. Rest In Peace. Tom & Jill Budde

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
