Larry Wayne Box

Larry Wayne Box, 67, of Glencoe, went to be with the Lord on June 30, 2015 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Larry was born on Sept 9, 1947 in Poteau, OK to W.C. Dub Box and Marie Box. He grew up in Panama, OK, where he attended school. Following his high school graduation, Larry attended Oklahoma State University where he pitched for the OSU baseball team. Larry also attended Missouri Auction School and spent many years doing agriculture auctions to supplement his income.
In 1976, Larry married the love of his life, Candy Schardein, in Stillwater, OK and they spent nearly four decades by each others side. He spent several years as the ranch foreman for a 10,000 acre ranch in Hannah, OK before relocating to Glencoe, OK in 1980. Larry spent 30+ years as a salesman for Cargill Feeds.
Larrys true passion was raising show pigs and he was very successful at it. He won countless awards for his pigs and he won the World Expo Champion Chester. He was very proud that his children were also involved in raising show pigs and this hobby provided many wonderful memories together.
Larry Box was an outgoing man who never met a stranger. He spent several years serving on the Glencoe City Council and the Glencoe School Board. He enjoyed watch OSU baseball and OU football games, but was never happier than when he was spending time surrounded by his grandchildren. He was ornery, quick-witted, had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed being the life of the party. Larry was a loving husband, a protective father, a caring brother, and a proud grandpa. He will truly be missed by all who knew him.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents Dub and Marie Box.
