Larry was born June 29, 1939 in Winner, South Dakota to Carl and Lena Wergin. He graduated from Winner High School and attended South Dakota State University on an Air Force ROTC scholarship. Larry graduated with a degree in Math and attended Oklahoma State University for his Master's studies where he met Elizabeth Tarner. They married in 1962 in Bartlesville, OK. Larry and Betsy raised three children while Larry's career took them from Oklahoma to California, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. Eventually they returned to Colorado and enjoyed the first half of their retirement years enjoying the mountains around the town of Granby.

Whether it was Colorado or Arizona, Larry was active in church, sometimes in lay leadership, sometimes in worship leadership, sometimes simply wielding a hammer on construction projects as they helped the church build and grow. While Larry's life was cut short by covid, he was always committed to his family and to the Lord. He is survived by his children Barry and his wife Janice, Rand and his wife Vanessa, Karin Moglia and her husband John, 10 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Memorial donations may be sent to Mt Olive Lutheran Church in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Larry requested donations to their favorite ministry in the church: the Wood Working Shop |
