Larry was born Sep-

tember 10, 1950 in Bot-

tineau, ND to Harvey and

Marjorie (Hubberd)

McDonald. He attended

Souris Public School

grades 1-12, graduating in

1968. He started working

for the USDA federal

grain inspection.

Larry married Linda

Gleber in New Orleans

and to this union three

daughters were born and

raised in Kansas City,

MO.

After retirement Larry

moved back to his roots

and bought a home at

Lake Metigoshe, his favor-

ite place to be. He had a

love for the Colorado

mountains, where he and

his friends skied yearly.

He met his second wife,

Ruthann McGee, on the

slopes. They spent 10

years together traveling.

They had yearly cruises

and recently spent a

month in Thailand.

Larry was a kind soul

and looked for the good in

each person. He loved

nothing more than a prac-

tical joke.

Love is not an easy feel-

ing to put into words nor

loyalty or trust or joy, but

he was all of these. He

gave us strength in time of

trouble and wisdom in

time of uncertainty. He

will be by our side. He

loved life completely and

lived it intensely.

He leaves behind his

wife Ruthann, step-

daughters; Reagan and

Haley, all of Woodlands,

fany Nyquist, Kansas City,
