Lawrence "Larry" D. Crowley, age 84, of Omro, died Tuesday, July 10, 2018, at his home. He was born October 27, 1933, in Oshkosh to the late James A. and Florence G. (Gibson) Crowley. Larry was a graduate of Omro High School and attended the Oshkosh State College. He dairy farmed in the town of Poygan, where the family farm was awarded the Century Farm designation.
Larry was a member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church, Omro. He was also involved with the Fox Skimmers Water Skiing Club, Omro Bowhunters, the Wisconsin Holstein Association, basketball refereeing for rec leagues, and working at Westward Ho Roller Rink as the main ring man. There he taught countless numbers of young people the joys of roller skating. He enjoyed hunting, especially trips with his hunting partner, Pat Seaman, to Alaska, Canada, and out west. His hobbies also included fishing, archery, roller skating, playing baseball, and traveling. One of his favorite hobbies was photography.
