Larry Homan

Larry Lee Homan, born August 30, 1950 in Beaver Dam, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. He was 73 years old.

Larry was the beloved son of William and Bernice Homan. He attended Waupun schools throughout his life, graduating in 1969. In 1971, he married Carla Nefstead, and together they raised three children: Chris (Kuba), Carri, and Willy.

Larry dedicated 30 years of his life to working for John Deere, where he was actively involved as a union member. His strong advocacy skills were well-known, and he was never afraid to stand up for what he believed was right. Larry's selflessness was evident in his deep love for his children and grandchildren, often putting their needs before his own.

An avid outdoorsman, Larry enjoyed hunting trips with his son, Willy, and they shared many memorable adventures out West. After retiring at the age of 52, Larry embraced life to the fullest, often attending gun shows where he became known as a fair salesman, recognized for wearing his signature tuxedo shirt. Stormy, the Wonder Dog, a stubborn English Bulldog, was his constant companion. 

Larry leaves behind a family who loved him deeply. He is survived by daughter, Chris (Steve) Winning, Waupun, Carri Homan, daughter, Waupun, son Willy Homan (Kim) Fox Lake. Grandchildren Taylor Kostick, Mackenzie Mulder and Caite Winning all of Waupun. Jackson, Jamison and Grayson of Waupun and 7 great grandchildren. Sister Linda Werebelow and niece Stephanie, Beaver Dam. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, ex-wife and mother of his children, Carla Klapper (Homan/Nefstead), brother Ronnie Homan, brother-in-law Ralph Werebelow, sister-in-law Judy Homan, nephew Matt Werebelow and great granddaughter, Hazel Mulder. 

Larry's legacy is one of love, dedication, and fairness. He will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him

A memorial service to celebrate Larry's life will be held at Werner Harmsen Event Center on Saturday, July 27, 2024 from 3 to 5. There will be a private service for family and close friends from 2 to 3. Flowers are unnecessary as Dad would say flowers die and would be a waste of money. (Those who know him can hear him say this). He would ask that you continue to be good to each other, stay out of others’ business as he despised gossip and to do the right thing. Larry’s presence was larger than life; his absence will be deafening.
