November was a special time for Larry, as he anticipated the deer hunting season all year and couldn‘t wait to bring home his prize buck. Larry was a very caring and compassionate man who loved his family, enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren, his sister and brother. Sundays during the Fall you would find Larry watching his beloved Green Bay Packers, a love he passed on to his children. Always the jokester, he went out of his way to make everyone happy and laugh.
He is survived by his children, Amy (Michael) Garbo of Racine, Marco Andersen of Racine; grandchildren, Madelyn and Alexander Garbo of Racine; his sister, Lori Bush of Racine; twin brother. Leonard (Lonny) Andersen of Modesto, CA; and brother, Kurt Andersen of Racine. Larry is preceded in death by his parents, an infant sister and a niece.

Private interment with full military honors will be held at the Southern Wisconsin Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery, Town of Dover.

He was one of the best managers I ever had the privilege of working for; a brilliant hardware configuration specialist and computer operations center designer, who always had a good joke at the ready. I remember he was a dedicated hard worker, commuting 90 miles to Chicago every day, rain or shine. My condolences to his friends and family.
