Larry Wilkins
Larry Lee Wilkins, age 69, passed away on Tuesday, October 20, 2020, in the Celina Manor Nursing Home, Celina. He had formerly resided in St. Marys, Ohio.
Larry was born on February 13, 1951, in Celina, Ohio, to the late Ronald E. Wilkins, Sr., and Rosemary (Kohnen) Wilkins.
He graduated from Celina Immaculate Conception School in 1969. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1970 to 1974, where he was stationed in Grand Forks, ND, and Guam, during the Vietnam conflict. He was also a 1981 and 1982 graduate of the North Dakota State School of Science in Wahpeton, ND, with degrees as a machinist and advanced machinist. He also attended The Ohio State University-Lima in 1985 to update his machinist degrees.
On June 1, 1985, he married the former Susan Oppermann, who survives him in St. Marys, Ohio.
Larry is survived by a daughter, Dr. Amy Bruno, of Cadillac, MI; stepson, Gregory (Stacey) Moorman of Coldwater; three grandchildren, Angel Moorman of Celina; Casey Moorman of New Castle, DE; and Cassandra Moorman of Coldwater; and two great-grandchildren, Brooklyn Canterbury and Leelyn Lanki of Celina; six brothers, Ronald Jr. (Celina, OH), Stephen (Tennessee), John (Florida), Timothy (Alaska), Matthew (Celina, OH), Robert (Troy, OH); and two sisters, Suzan Allen (Terre Haute, IN) and Janice Hanna (Coldwater, OH).
Larry retired from Crown Equipment Corporation in 2010. Larry was known for his love of flying, parachuting, golfing, and boating. Every summer, he could be found driving to Oshkosh, WI, for its annual air show and bonding with his friends from North Dakota.
Larry was a lifelong fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes, and could be found any given Saturday avidly watching them play, when he wasn't teaching his children and grandchildren about his favorite pastimes. Larry also enjoyed tending to his rosebushes, which bloomed beautifully each season under his care.
Due to health issues in the community, there will be no visitation. Private graveside services will be held at Elm Grove Cemetery, St. Marys.
Memorials should be directed to Celina Immaculate Conception Church or State of the Heart Hospice of Greenville.
Miller Funeral Homes, St. Marys, is in charge of arrangements.
