Larry was born on October 3rd, 1939, in Cudahy, WI to the late Casimir and Anna Wroblewski. He graduated from Cudahy High School and went on to join the United States Navy where he received an Honorable Discharge in February of 1963.
Larry loved playing the guitar and bass with his band at night clubs when he wasn’t driving a truck for Coca-Cola. It was at one of these clubs that he met the love of his life and best friend, Goldia “Clarice” Wroblewski, and they later married on November 23rd, 1963.
In 1974 Larry moved his family to Colorado where he eventually landed his forever job as a truck driver with “Jack Cooper Transport” and when Jack Cooper transferred to Kansas in 1981, they moved again to the Kansas City North, MO area when he retired in 2001. With all the kids out of the house and starting their own families, Larry and Clarice moved to Sunbird Golf Resort in Chandler, AZ to enjoy warmer winter weather.
Larry loved retirement life in Chandler, loved golfing and joined a new band at Sunbird called the Bandits. He often reminisced about the good old times when he played music with Danny Darren and Justin Tubb, the many dogs they adopted over the years, all the places he got to see while driving a truck and just loving life. Larry always had a smile on his face and was a friend to everyone. He will be missed by many.
In addition to his parents, Larry is predeceased by his loving wife Goldia ‘Clarice’ Wroblewski, a son, Stanley Yates, and a grandson Casimir Lawrence Foster.
