LANCASTER - On December 7, 2020, Larry Earl Moore, loving husband and father of three children, passed away peacefully at his farm at age 74.

Larry was born on May 14, 1946, in Lancaster, the eighth of nine children born to Harley and Leone (Ames) Moore. He graduated from Lancaster High School in 1964. Larry was united in marriage to Peggy Ann Meyer on October 25, 1980 at Whig Methodist Church in Platteville, WI.

His most cherished moments included sharing meals with his family around the dinner table and sharing stories about their day
