Larry F. Dock

Larry F. Dock, age 81 of Durand, took his last climb up the line pole to Heaven on July 7, 2020. He passed away peacefully at home due to complications from Lewy Body Dementia.
Larry was born on May 21, 1939 and raised in Park Rapids, MN to the late Clarence and Albertina (Suda) Dock. As a teenager, the family moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba. There Larry began his lineman career at Manitoba Hydro. Larry married Roma Rockwell, together they had four children and later divorced. Larry later married Joy LuKaschuk and they also had four children. In 1965, Larry and his family relocated to Wisconsin when Larry took a job for NSP (Xcel Energy). Throughout his career as a journeyman, Larry worked for many contractors through IBEW.
Everything Larry did was always full throttle and full of passion. This included snowmobiling, traveling, hockey and playing ball. He was always in the stands cheering on the grandkids and spending time with his family. He was known to leave you with his famous “Keep Smiling!”
