They were married 52 years. Their dedication to their wedding vows demonstrates their abiding love. Taking care of each other “in sickness and in health ‘til death do us part”.

Larry was an avid member of Mid-Iowa Bass Masters for many years. He enjoyed spending his time fishing and hunting. He was retired from Armstrong Tire & Waterworks.

Carolyn enjoyed cooking, shopping and spending time at the casino. She retired from Hy-Vee. Carolyn was an exceptional caregiver to her husband, even more so with his diagnosis and continued after being diagnosed herself.

They enjoyed their retirement and spending winters in Texas, camping, fishing and hanging out with friends.

Larry and Carolyn are survived by their three children, Debbie (A.J.) Loffredo-Breese, Sharon (Rick) Hendrix and Larry (Jamie) Loffredo; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and Larry’s siblings, Carolyn (Albert) Coakley and David (Debby) Loffredo.

They were preceded in death by their parents; Alfonso and Fanny Loffredo and John and Georgia Brasher; Larry’s brother, Ralph Loffredo; and Carolyn’s brother, Michael Brasher.

The family will receive friends from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street.
