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.
