Larry J. See
July 6, 1940 – November 4, 2013

Larry Jay See, 73 of Carleton, died peacefully with his family by his side November 4, 2013 at 8 p.m. at Oakwood Southshore Medical Center in Trenton. Mr. See passed away after a long and valiant fight with cancer.

His passing was preceded by a niece Monica of Stever, Michigan, a brother, Dennis of California and his parents Clifford and Dorothea See of Romulus.

He is survived by his wife, Judy of Carleton; two sons, Larry Jr., of Monroe and Miles Todd of Raleigh, N.C.; a daughter-in-law, Leslie See of Raleigh, N.C.; a grandson, Garrett Murphy of Raleigh, N.C.; a granddaughter, Emma Elizabeth of Raleigh, N.C.; two sisters, Audrey (Bob) Kocsis of Newport, and Janice Stever of Grass Lake and numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.

He graduated in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Lawrence Institute of Technology, and spent 35 years working with Ford Motor Company before retiring as a light truck engineer in 1996.

Volunteerism was a word that Larry enjoyed and lived to his very last days. His barns are stuffed with old tractors and pieces of objects that he needed to spend time with to get them working, but acquired because "he just had to have it, or he needed a piece for something else. He served as a past community leader with the Carleton Go-Getters Club; past president and member of the Monroe County 4-H Council; 4-H rabbit superintendent; board member of the Monroe County Small Animal Association; chairman of the Great Lakes Agricultural Fair; past secretary and member of the Monroe County Planning Commission; past chairman and scholarship chairman of the Great Lake Agricultural Fair; past member and chairman of the Michigan Pork Producers Association; past member and director of the pork board of the National Livestock and Meat Board, and served as a volunteer for several state 4-H livestock committees.

When not traveling to visit fairs throughout the state and nation, his vehicle never met an antique shop it did not like, and always slowed down when it passed tractors of any makes, models or sizes that were red. He was always the first one to be at new events, and was the last to leave. His family became more extended, with the addition of the many 4-H members he nurtured and supported, but he still found an opportunity to take time out for family. He loved spending time with his grandkids either at the North Carolina State Fair, the North American International Live Stock Exposition, or the World Pork Expo.

He found time to attend farm auctions with his brother-in-law, Robert Kocsis; made woodworking projects for his family; enjoyed animals from geese, to pigs, to two dogs and a cat, and spent countless hours researching his family tree, a project now expected to be carried on by his son.

No was not a part of his vocabulary. He never used the word, but always was a good one to argue, and you had to prove your point before he would relent. This mannerism was passed onto his children and grandchildren.

The family wishes to express their thanks for the support given to them in the last hours of his life by the Medical Team of Livonia; the staff at William Beaumont Hospital of Royal Oak; the staff at the University of Michigan Medical Cancer Center in Ann Arbor; the staff of the Cleveland Clinic; Dr. Joseph Hunt and Dr. John Bonema, and the staff at Mercy Memorial Hospital of Monroe.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Monroe County 4-H Council for the Larry See Memorial Scolarship.

Visitation will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. Friday, and 11 a.m. to the 1 p.m. time of service on Saturday at the Rupp Funeral Home. Gary Koppelman of Blissfield will officiate with burial to follow in Woodland Cemetery.
