Larry William Stearns, 83 passed away Tuesday, April 30th, 2024, at Cox Medical Center, in Branson, Missouri.

He was born October 16th, 1940, in Millersville, Missouri to Lawrence William and Laura Seabaugh Stearns. In 1957, Larry met his future wife Patricia Ann Oldham on a nearby farm. Larry and Pat were married July 3, 1960, in Burfordville, MO.

Larry and Pat moved to the nearby town of Jackson, Missouri, and was a supervisor at Superior Electric in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
