Larry Shock Sr., age 80, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Thursday November 4, 2021, at Carl Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Illinois. Larry was an active and social man, a member of the Loyal order of Moose Lodge in Olney, Illinois where he tended bar for many years.

Larry was a family man and loving father, grandfather, and friend to everyone he encountered. Family was his highest priority, and he relished the time spent with his children and grandchildren. His loved ones will take comfort in the abundance of loving memories they share of him.
