Larry L. Schroeder

Larry Schroeder, 76, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2024, at his home surrounded by his loved ones after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on August 18, 1947 in Stevens Point, WI, to parents Fred and Evelyn (Salzwadel) Schroeder. Larry worked for many years as a travel agent at Cole Travel, and later Fox Travel. During this time, he was able to travel and visit many countries. Following retirement, he worked at Haentze Floral for over 10 years, where many enjoyed his smile and humor. Larry enjoyed staying busy. As a younger man, he was an avid bowler, with multiple 300 games. He also loved playing golf (having even scored a hole in one), and some of his favorite times were spent on the golf course with family and friends. He was devoted to University of Wisconsin sports, especially football and basketball. Larry held season football tickets for over 45 years. Larry was a lifelong member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Fond du Lac. He enjoyed taking special care of his sisters. He had a quick wit and loved being the “Favorite Uncle.” Larry is survived by his two sisters, Ione Schroeder of Fond du Lac and Geraldine Lashock of Princeton, and multiple nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred Schroeder and Evelyn Salzwadel Schroeder Totzke; stepfather, Melvin Totzke; brothers, James Schroeder and Ken Schroeder; sister, Betty Schroeder; sister-in-law, Noreen Schroeder; and brother-in-law, Adrian Lashock.
