August 3, 1945 — October 27, 2010
Larry Curtis Noyes, son of William "Bud" and Selma (Hanson) Noyes, was born August 3, 1945 in Starbuck, Minnesota, where he grew up and was baptized and confirmed at Fron Lutheran Church.

On January 28, 1967 he was united in marriage to Donna Gomer. The couple made their home in Starbuck, where Larry worked as a carpenter.
