Larry Duane Van Veen was born February 9, 1941, in Pella, Iowa, to Theodore and Viola (Ver Steeg) Van Veen. Larry worked as a book binder for many years at Meredith, which later became Meredith Burda, RR Donnelly, and Omni Care. On December 12, 1980, he was united in marriage to Carol Lettington.

Larry was a member of the Cyclone Corvette Club. He enjoyed driving as fast as he could get away with. He took great pride in keeping his cars spotless. He also relaxed while playing his guitar. He enjoyed working in the yard, which turned into doing the neighbor's yard work as well. Most of all he loved spending time with Carol and his family.

Larry was survived by his wife, Carol; and siblings, Shirley (Larry) Morgan, Melvina (Vernon White) Breuklander, and Stan (Ann) Van Veen. He was preceded in death by his parents, and a brother, Carl Wayne.

Memorials may be directed to the family.
