Laurence Fredrick "Larry" Monshor, age 69, of Gaylord, passed away December 1, 2020, in Traverse City Michigan.
Larry was born in Detroit, Michigan on September 21, 1951, to Laurence and Harriet (Barron) Monshor.
On August 19, 1972, he married Linda Garrett in Utica, Michigan. They were happily married for 48 years. In 1973, Larry earned a BS degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan. After working for 30 years at the Big Rock Pointe Nuclear Power Plant, he retrained. In 2003, he earned an MBA and became a CPA. A highlight of his career was when he combined his education and became a member of the Great Lakes Energy Board in 2007.

Over the years, Larry faithfully served as a deacon, treasurer, Sunday school teacher, bus driver, and radio station board member at Grace Baptist Church in Gaylord.
