Larry Dean Hartman
Passed peacefully on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, at the age of 77. He was born in South Dakota, the son of the late Eugene and Leola Hartman, and stepson of the late Rosemary Hartman. Larry attended Tripp High School in South Dakota class of 1964. He married the love of his life Sharon A. Reiser on June 30, 1966. Larry started his career as a mechanic in Tripp, SD, and then at West Bend Company/Regal Ware in June of 1966 and retired after 46yrs in 2012. He worked as a hand polisher, Teflon & porcelain set-up person, high boom jeep driver, and then into maintenance. Larry also worked part time at Falk gas Station and Bradley's Auto Salvage in West Bend.
Larry's hobbies were working on cars and building Street Rods with his son. Drag racing, being a pitman for Biertzer Racing for many years, and Country Line Dancing - to please Sharon. He loved to travel, they made trips to Vegas, Jamaica, Cuba, Alaska, Panama Canal, Florida, and many other states, many bus trips, and too many car show trips to count. He also took yearly trips back to South Dakota to visit family and friends. But Most of all he loved spending time with his grandkids and great grandkids.
