(Craun) Ingalls, he was born on October 12, 1939 in Watertown Township, Michigan, was a 1958 graduate of Grand Ledge High School, and a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He worked as a helicopter and aviation mechanic and retired from the City of Lansing where he worked in heavy equipment maintenance. Larry enjoyed aircraft restoration and piloting airplanes he owned. He was an avid hunter and woodworker. Larry loved donuts, ice cream and his cats. After retirement, he enjoyed traveling and working around his home; occasionally he would be known to sneak away to the casino to while away the hours playing slots. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, uncle, grandfather and brother and he will be dearly missed. On November 9, 1995, he married the former Pamela Jane Batchelder, who survives.
