Larry L. Bonebright, 68, passed away at UW Hospital in Madison, WI on June 16, 2016. He was born October 11, 1947 in Lena, IL to Elwyn and Lois (Stabenow) Bonebright. On June 25, 1966, he married the love of his life, Anita Brinker at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Lena.
He was a kind and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be deeply missed by his family. Larry started his own business, Bonebright Construction, in the early 70's and was still active until his death. He loved his wife's great cooking and baking, watching his grandchildren's sporting events, eating breakfast with his great-grandson, and was an avid hunter. His greatest pleasures were his big-game hunts with his son and grandkids. Larry loved life and he left us before his time.
Larry was a member of the NRA, Whitetails Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited, and the National Wild Turkey Federation.
He is survived by his wife, Anita, three children: Noelle (Justin) Yeager, Steve Bonebright and Danielle Bonebright all of Lena; six grandchildren: Jessica (Mark) Blakely, Carlee Yeager, Isaiah Yeager, Shawn Bonebright, Autumn Bonebright, Madalyn McMahan and Gracie McMahan and two great-grandchildren, Addison and Beckett Blakely all of Lena.
