Larry Dean Fjetland was born April 7, 1934 in Rowen, IA to Dan and Sadie

and served until 1956.
On January 21, 1956 Larry was united in marriage to Ruby Marie Gunsallus
in Osage, Iowa. Larry farmed with his wife Ruby near Corwith, Iowa until
they moved to their farm near LeRoy, MN in 1974. He enjoyed farming,
talking about crops, and fishing. His passion for fishing took him and
Ruby to Edgemont, Arkansas where they enjoyed their home overlooking
Greers Ferry Lake. They moved back to Harmony, MN in 2016 to be closer to
family after receiving diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Larry loved spending time with his wife and kids, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. The grandkids had a special bond with their “Grumpy”
and loved him dearly. The great-grandkids brought him so much joy and
loved seeing them.
