Obituary

Lawrence "Larry" Edward Efting Sr went to his eternal heavenly home at 100 years! After his 100-year party, he looked forward to seeing Jesus, his Savior, face to face. He was never tired of playing card games or watching football, especially the Lions and University of Michigan. After serving in the Navy in WWII, he lived in Grand Rapids and enjoyed church, volunteering, golf, sailing, swimming and travel before being physically limited. His sense of humor was enjoyed by everyone he met. Many thanks to the VA team, especially Jennifer, and the Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community staff for help and support and friendship.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Elizabeth Efting, brothers Howard, Norman, and David, sister Doris Weaver, wife Christine, special friend Maude Norman and grandson Alan Krystiniak.

He is survived by children Nancy Noel, Larry (Jan) Efting Jr, Barbara (Steven) Matthies, Sandra (Michael) Krystiniak, Betts McKoen, Thomas (Louise) Efting, Nancy (Daniel) Siegal. Stepdaughters Marsha (John) Norton, Mary (Michael) Pierson, and Michele Westhuis.
