Lawrence S. “Larry” Du Bois, of Elkhorn, passed away June 4, 2020 at Kindred Hearts of Elkhorn.
He was born in Glen Ridge, NJ on Feb. 13, 1943 to Joseph and Josephine Du Bois. Larry married Kathy Magers on March 14, 1981 at St. Pat’s Catholic Church in Elkhorn.
Larry served in the army after graduating from Delavan-Darien High School. After discharge, he became a Walworth County Deputy Sheriff and served for 34 years and three months, retiring in 2001.
He enjoyed golfing, going to the family trailer in the north woods at St. Germain to fish and sit around the campfire. A special time in Larry and Kathy’s lives was their travel to Ukraine to bring Masha home and into their lives. She is definitely a “daddy’s girl.”
Larry is survived by his wife of 39 years, Kathy, and their daughter Masha, both of Elkhorn. He is further survived by his sister, Joan (Rod) Kennen, of Cedar Edge, CO, his brother, Jack (Kim) Du Bois of Renton, WA and other friends and relatives.
Per Larry’s wishes, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Larry’s name may be sent to: First Evangelical Lutheran Church, 415 Devendorf St., Elkhorn, WI 53121.
Haase-Lockwood & Associates Funeral Homes and Crematory completed arrangements for the Du Bois family.
Special thanks to the staff at Kindred Hearts, not only for the care they provided these last few years, but also their compassion for Larry, Kathy and Masha during the last days, which was greatly appreciated. Sincere thanks also to the Aurora-at-Home Hospice team.
