Laurence "Larry" G. McGuire
Laurence "Larry" G. McGuire
Larry graduated from Rhinelander High School in 1955 and entered the Navy a few months later. He was stationed on the USS Kidd during his service years. Upon discharge, he married the love of his life, Joanne Flees on Oct. 21, 1961. They resided in Rhinelander and raised their family while working in, and eventually taking over, the family business, Birchfield Nurseries.
For many years, Larry could be seen out and about the Rhinelander community, and surrounding areas, helping people out with their landscaping needs. In the early 1970s, he could also be found, in the winter months, managing Camp 10 Ski Hill. He could talk with anyone and was known to start up conversations with just about anyone that crossed his path.
Larry had many loves - taking pictures, camping, his faith, helping out at church/community functions, but most of all, his family. He took great pride in his sons and grandchildren and attended many events that they participated in. All while holding the camera up to his eye to capture the moments. His smile and helpful personality will be greatly missed.
Larry is survived by his sons Larry (Betsy) McGuire and Greg (Julie) McGuire, his grandchildren Allison (Nick) Korte, Stephanie, Darren, Brendan and Marisa, his brothers William (Carol) McGuire and Lewis (Jan) McGuire, nieces, nephews, other family and many friends. He was preceded in death by his wife Joanne and his parents.
