Larry Don was born on April 13, 1958, in Marengo, Iowa, the son of Don and Lela (Fish) Severin. He graduated from Benton Community High School in 1976. Larry married his high school sweetheart, Diana Bobzien on April 23, 1977, in Van Horne, Iowa. Larry became very interested in textiles and began working at Amana Mill in Iowa. A job advancement in the field landed him at the Faribault Woolen Mill as a foreman, where he worked for many years. He later worked at Malt-O-Meal/Post Brands for many years until his retirement. After high school he enjoyed all forms of racing, racing motocross several years, working in a pit crew, and was always a huge NASCAR fan. He also enjoyed ice fishing and used his skills to design and build his own fish house. Larry took great pride in his yard, spending many hours perfecting his landscaping. Larry had looked forward to dinners with his Friday Night Supper Club friends, and Sundays with them as well.
