Larry worked at Iowa Motors for awhile and then continued his education at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa.

He was united in marriage to Mona Betts for 25 years. He enjoyed his time on his Harley, working with computers, vehicles and electronics. He would spend hours making his Harley and Ford F150 shine. Most of all Larry enjoyed his time with his grandchildren spoiling them rotten. Larry is survived by his children, Amber (Tom) Baugnet of Krakow, WI and Austin Levendusky of Austin, TX; his two grandchildren, Iris and Wyatt Baugnet; his mother, Janet Levendusky of Oelwein; his siblings, Cathy (Jeff) Rowe of Kennebunk, Maine, Dave (Vicki) Levendusky of Oelwein and Paul (Stacy) Levendusky of Monticello, GA; and several nieces and nephews.

You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of Larry. I have many great memories of him; especially when I managed the Kum & Go gas station in Oelwein. He was a frequent visitor. May all the wonderful memories each of you have of Larry get you through the difficult days. You are in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Larry!

My sincerest condolences to all of the Levendusky family for the long road you've had to endure during the recent past. Larry was one of my best friends during our high school years. Larry enriched my life with his consistent fun loving (rascal) approach to life, and from the other comments, it seems he hadn't changed a bit. He still is and will remain to be a central character in some of my fondest memories of my adolescent childhood and stories I recite often. We will all certainly miss you, but also look forward to reliving those memories when we meet again!

My sincerest condolences to Larry's family and friends. May you find comfort and peace in your memories during these difficult days.

It is impossible to put into words how much Larry meant to his fellow coworkers at OTC Daihen. We are all blessed and better human beings for having met Larry and having had the opportunity to spend time with him. He always walked around work with a big grin on his face but you never knew if it was because he was glad to see you or he just pulled a prank on someone, maybe even you. Many times it was both. In all my years of dealing with employees, I have never known anyone that was more universally loved by his friends/coworkers and seemed to have no enemies in this world. He loved what he did and he always wanted to do a good job, not just for himself, but for the good of the company overall. He always spoke fondly of his children and grandchildren and I only wish he had more time to be with them. Larry, we will miss you terribly and will remember you often. Goodbye my friend!

Levendusky family, know that God is with you during your time of loss. He is there for you always. I am truly blessed and grateful for having the opportunity to work with and know Larry. His personality and smile would light up the area and make us wonder just what he’d been up to! He was a good man with a heart of gold. Rest in peace friend. You will be missed.
