Greenville Daily News, 30 Dec 2006

Sgt. 1st Class Lawrence R. “Larry” Nemetz, 62, retired from the U.S. Army, of
Sheridan, passed away Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2006, at his home.  He was born Jan.
25, 1944, in Ionia, the son of Robert William and Dorothy May Bice Nemetz.

After turning 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in January 1961 and was a proud
veteran of the Vietnam Conflict, where he served two tours.  He continued his
career in the Army, rising to the rank of Sergeant First Class at the time of
his retirement in 1979.  A life member of the Lester J. Sitts Veterans of
Foreign Wars Post 5065 in Sheridan, as well as the American Legion Post 0542 in
Stanton, he also enjoyed fishing.  

He is survived by his children, Karea Nemetz of Grovetown, Ga., Sgt. 1st Class
Kevin and Maria Nemetz of Edmore, Sgt. Maj. Karon Nemetz, currently stationed
with the U.S. Army at Fort Jackson, S.C.; 10 grandchildren; two
great-grandchildren; a brother, Lavern and Sally Anderson of Lansing; and his
canine companion, Rascal.

Memorial services are 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Sheridan VFW Hall, with a
luncheon following the service.  Pastor Harry Goldberg of Grace Fellowship
Baptist church in Edmore will officiate and military honors will be rendered by
Lester J. Sitts VFW Post 5065.  Honoring his wishes, cremation has taken place
and burial is in Evergreen Township Cemetery near Sheridan.  Instead of flowers,
Larry would have appreciated contributions in his memory to either Family Life
Radio or the Youth Ranch at Rive’s Junction.  Brown-Teman & Christiansen Funeral
Home, Greenville, was entrusted with the arrangements.
