Larry was born March

1, 1945 along with his

twin brother, Gary, in

Underwood, ND to Robert

and Irene (Johnson)

Schauer. He grew up in

Underwood and graduat-

ed from Underwood High

School. He worked on

summer for the railroad in

McLean County and spent

many summers working

in Beloit, WI as a teen.

Larry married Diane

Mitchell on May 7, 1968.

They lived in Beloit, WI

for 4 years. He later

worked as a custodian at

McDonald’s in Beloit. In

June of 1972, they moved

to Bismarck where he

worked for Apple Valley

Golf Course and then

K-Mart, doing custodial

work at both.

In 1973, Larry began his

long career as head custo-

dian a Bob Callie Elemen-tary School in Garrison.

Larry worked at the

school for 34 years. Larry

took great pride in his

work and the kids and

teachers at the school

loved him for his hard

work and dedication. In

2007, Larry retired and

spent most of his time re-

laxing and being content

at home with his cat, Sy-

bil. Larry deserved his re-

tirement and he thorough-ly enjoyed it.

Larry loved to fish and

hunt upland game. He al-

ways had a big garden in

the summer and was a

great cook, using much of

the produce to make

wonderful meals for his

family. He also had a

great personality and

loved to joke around.

Larry’s true passion was

the Minnesota Vikings.

The word “fan”, is short

for fanatic, and that was

Larry. His motto could

have been, “God, Country,

and the Minnesota Vik-

ings”, and he bled purple

and gold!

Larry is survived by his

wife, Diane, Garrison,

children, Sheila, Scott,

and Kelly; 3 grandchil-

dren, Mitzi Goodin,

Heather Schauer, and Bri-

tany Doll.

He was preceded in

death by his parents, and

twin brother, Gary,

grandchildren, Monica

and Matthew, and sisters,

Joyce Sterns and Ruby

Kroll.
