Larry G. Lindhorst was born March 17, 1949 in Ipswich, SD to Elmer and Vivian (Strom) Lindhorst. He attended school in Cresbard, graduating in 1967. Larry went on to attend South Dakota State University, receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture.

Upon graduating from college, Larry was drafted into the United States Army and was stationed at Fort Detrick, Maryland. He was honorably discharged a year later so he could help with the family farm. Larry farmed the remainder of his life as it was his passion!

On August 23, 1969, Larry was united in marriage to Judy Hinrichs of Wessington Springs; they made their home on the family farm, raising their two children, Collin and Robin. In Larry’s free time you could find him bowling, attending car shows, or drag racing his Shelby Mustangs. He was a member of American Legion Post #213 and Immanuel Lutheran Church, serving on various committees.

Larry’s life will be cherished by his wife, Judy of Wecota; his children: Collin Lindhorst (Chuck Kintz) of Aberdeen, and Robin Lindhorst of Kansas City, KS; grandchildren: Maddison and Jon Kintz; and sister, Evelyn (John) Lund of McCall, ID.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be directed to the Cresbard American Legion or Immanuel Lutheran Church, Wecota.

Luce Funeral Home of Faulkton has been entrusted with Larry’s arrangements.
