Larry Giboney died peacefully at home on May 13, 2013 surrounded by his family and with his favorite yorkie curled up at his feet. We will miss him very much. Larry was born on March 26, 1934 to Bill and Elva Giboney who preceded him in death as did his brother Gary and niece Robin. He is survived by his wife of 57 years Rebecca; three daughters, Cathy Cook, Frisco, TX, Melissa Gibson, Nixa, MO, Holly Rudd and husband Gordon, Tulsa, OK. Also surviving are grandsons Derek Teel and wife Lane of Shawnee Mission, KS, Andrew Cook and wife Erwin, Tulsa, OK, Christopher Cook, Dallas, TX; granddaughter, Holly Skinner and husband Andrew of Carmel, IN; and niece Leslie Wimmer and husband Bob. A gifted athlete, Larry enjoyed a variety of sports during his lifetime including baseball slow pitch, tennis and golf, and anything that involved using a round ball. He was a Springfield A.S.A. Hall of Fame inductee and was privileged to be part of the S.M.S. Basketball Bears N.A.I.A. Championship team of 1952 and 1953. He was active and supported many organizations including being president of the Y.M.C.A. 1978-79, chairman of the Papa Bears Booster Club 1977-78, and supporting the Boy's Club. Saint Vincent De Paul Society collects emergency funds to distribute to the needy. As a member, Larry was a humble participant. As a successful insurance broker, Larry earned a reputation for truly caring about the welfare of his clients. He began his career with Paul Barker and Milt Philips, two wonderful men who "grew him up in the insurance business" and enabled him to become the professional he was. In 1983, Larry joined Ollis & CO. where he continued his career until his retirement, enjoying fulfilling and rewarding years with people he respected and admired. Larry's ashes will be scattered where and as he requested. We will bid a temporary farewell to our loved one at his Memorial Mass on the 24th of May, 10:00 a.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 2818 E. Bennett under the direction of Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home. The family would like to acknowledge and thank Dr. Jennifer McNay for the years of compassionate and total care she gave to Larry.
