Larry was born in Oshkosh on October 8, 1948, son of the late Francis and Alberta (Suess) Brown. He attended high school in Oshkosh and graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh in 1970. On September 12 of that year, Larry married Jill Lautenschlager; she survives. Larry enjoyed a career in retail with K-Mart, ShopKo, and as a sales representative with Marsh and Associates, and happily retired at the age of 55. He enjoyed fishing, golf, spending time with his grandsons, household projects, and cooking for family and friends.
Survivors include his wife: Jill Brown of Appleton; two children: Carrie (Bruce) Kornaus of Freedom and Chad Brown of Madison; two grandsons: Kaden and Bennett Kornaus; and six brothers and sisters: Mary Brown of Sheboygan; Joby (Harley) Whitemarsh of Grafton; Carol Brown of Germantown; Paul (Arlys) Brown of Oshkosh; Ellen Gutknecht of Mosinee; and Steve (Gretchen) Brown of Oshkosh. There are also numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends.
Larry's family will greet friends and relatives from 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at the Wichmann Funeral Home Tri County Chapel, 3212 S. Oneida Street in Menasha. A reception will immediately follow. Online condolences may be offered at www.wichmannfargo.com. Memorial contributions may be directed to the American Cancer Society, ThedaCare At Home Hospice, or to the charity of your choice.
The family would like to thank everyone at ThedaCare At Home, especially Todd, for the compassionate and respectful care that Larry received. We will never forget your kindness.
Those who knew Larry will remember him for his very dry sense of humor and how he loved stirring up the pot. He will be missed by all who loved him.

Jill and family, I'm so very sorry to hear of Larry's
passing. I had the pleasure of working with him very closely when I first
began at Marsh & Associates. He taught me so much about this industry and
also about myself. I was very lucky to have known him. My thoughts and
prayers are with you.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Jill & Family - I just heard the news of the loss that your family has experienced. I am terribly sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Larry was an incredible person who made a large positive impact on Marsh & Associates and also the people we represented and the customers he called on. When I became a representative 22 years ago I learned so much from Larry. Larry single handedly taught me the audio electronics business.
Again, my deepest sympathies to your entire family and all of your friends.

Dear Jill, Carrie and Chad, My thoughts and prayers are with you. No words could better express Larry than the final words of his obituary. How he loved to stir the pot! :) I enjoyed his sense of humor and his interest in people and their thoughts. One of my favorite memories is playing the 18th hole with him, the pro, you and one other and 3 of 4 were all left handed players. He always took the time to answer questions; especially when they were about his family or golf. He will be missed by many of us. Love and hugs to all of you, Steph
