With a strong work ethic, Larry headed the maintenance department of Federal Mogul for over 20 years prior to his retirement.   He also worked for Fulton County Transpo driving and as a dispatcher for many years.

 

Larry was very devoted to the love of his life, Susie Cooper, for the past 12 years. They enjoyed a long distance romance and there were many trips to Mississippi.  Sadly she passed away in July 2020.

 

An avid super hero fan, Batman was Larry's favorite.  He collected many unique pieces that he displayed around his home.  He loved Monsters and always wanted to go hunting for Bigfoot!  Larry also treasured his feline companion, Tabitha the adorable Tabby cat.  She was playful, entertaining and appreciated the attention he gave her. Larry answered to "baby boy," a title given by his mother.  He patented the quotes, "It's good being a Kirk," and "the world needs more chocolate," a part of his life's philosophy.

 

Uncle Larry was like a super hero to his 25 nieces and nephews.  He taught them many things, but especially shared his knowledge of fishing.  Whether it was on the banks of the Tippecanoe or more lengthy sessions at Kentucky Lake, Uncle Larry was always there to help bait their hooks or clean the catches of the day.  He loved Christmas and the holidays making memories with his family.

 

Left to cherish Larry's memory are  five siblings Toni McCrea of Culver, Nettie Dawn Woods of Columbus, Debbie Minns and husband Dale of South Haven, Michelle Clingler and husband William of Culver, Ronald Kirk and wife Karen of Murray, KY;  he dearly loved and lived for all of his  25 nieces and nephews, 66 great nieces and nephews, 24 great-great nieces and nephews, many aunts, uncles and cousins.  He is also survived by special friends Brad Watwood, Jeff Ditmire, Chris Biltz,  Mary Westwood, Terry and Joe Moore and his former wife of 25 years JeanAnn Shambarger.

Mr. Melvin L. Pratt, 93

Mr. Melvin L. Pratt, 93,  was surrounded by his loving family when he passed away at 8:46 PM on Thursday, October 8, 2020 at his home in Winamac.

On October 16, 1926, Melvin Leroy Pratt was born in Fulton County, near Athens to Russell W. and Ethel Dora Miller Pratt.  Growing up he shared his childhood with a sister Gladys and two brothers Irvin and Phil.  Melvin graduated from Akron High School with his class in 1943.  A proud Flyer, standing at 6' 0" and a "wingspan to match," Melvin was a force to be reckoned with starring as center on the basketball team.

Immediately after graduation, patriotism beckoned.  Melvin answered the call enlisting to serve our country during World War II with the United States Navy.  He was accomplished as a minesweeper, being very successful searching for and destroying sea mines.  Seaman Second Class Melvin L. Pratt was honorably discharged on May 25, 1946 with his Navy service of three years.

During his time back home for a few years, between service stints, Melvin met and fell in love with Iva.  The duo hit it off beautifully and later became engaged to be married.  On May 2, 1951, Melvin enlisted with the United States Air Force and was stationed in Germany where he worked in the automotive mechanic division.  Iva later joined him in Germany and on January 30, 1953, Melvin married the love of his life Miss Iva May Leland in Erding, Germany.   SSG Melvin continued with his service stint being honorably discharged on May 1, 1955.

Returning home to Fulton County, the Pratts shared 64 years of life’s adventures. From their union came eight wonderful children.  The family tree continued to grow with the added blessings of two more generations.

Over the years Melvin had developed a strong work ethic and embraced his passion for agriculture. He and Iva raised their beautiful family of eight living off the land and were self-sustained from their family farming operation. They initially hand milked a fine herd of 12 - 14 Holsteins, that later evolved into nearly 30 when the electronic milkers were employed.  They had a few pigs cross-bred, Hampshire and Chester Whites.  Corn and wheat were planted annually to feed the livestock. Melvin and Iva annually planted a huge truck patch garden supplying the family with produce from mid-summer on.  Autumn brought on the bountiful harvest when they froze and canned the vegetables for winter's use.

As the proud patriarch of the Pratt family, Grandpa was proud to oversee three generations.  He enjoyed following their school activities and sports, always cheering from the stands.  The holidays and special family celebrations were treasured making many memories of a lifetime.

Left to cherish Melvin's memory are three daughters:  Lisa Day and husband Dennis of Star City, Regina Waits of Dallas, TX, Maria Nicolas and husband Jim of Winamac; six sons: John Pratt and wife Nancy of Rochester, Michael Pratt and wife Lisa of Middletown, Daniel Pratt and wife Annette of Plymouth, Mark Pratt and wife Judy of  Delong, Dominic Pratt of Pleasant Prairie, WI, Matthew Pratt and wife Carla of Plymouth;  29 grandchildren;  38 great-grandchildren; two brothers:  Irvin Pratt and wife Marlene of Middlebury, Phillip Pratt and wife Janice of  Rochester; and several nieces and nephews.

Preceding Melvin in death are his parents Russell and Ethel Pratt; beloved wife Iva on May 1, 2017; grandson, Jeremy Day; two great-grandsons: Waylon Cox and Owen Abbott; and a sister, Gladys Cutshaw.

Geneva A. “Genny” Meade, 89, of Gary, IN (formerly of Star City, IN) passed away at 3:06 AM Thursday, October 8, 2020 at Crown Point Christian Village in Crown Point, IN.  She fought the good fight and has now completed the course.  Geneva was born on February 7, 1931 in Pekin, IL to the late Leo Homer and Anna Harris [Britt] Kirby.  During her high school years, she moved with her family from Illinois to Kentucky.  It was during this time of her life, it became evident to her siblings that she was a talented writer and singer.

 

Genny wore several different hats in life.  She worked at Burney Bros. Bakery and Western Electric.  When she married her first husband, Rev. Charles Glass, she humbly accepted the title of pastor’s wife.  He preceded her in death on December 27, 1970.  Through resilience and God’s grace, Genny was able to create a new life with her second husband, Robert C. Meade.  He preceded her in death on May 12, 2004.   Genny worked at South Suburban Hospital for many years, where she retired as a scheduler for surgery. 

 

A life is not made up of only who you are related to, but how you choose to live the life you have been given.  Genny decided to live her life for God.  There were many time in her life when she was heart-broken; losing five infant children and both of her husbands was an extremely difficult burden to bear.  God, however, was with her every step of the way.  She could tell you stories of how He moved in her life.  Genny was a testament that miracles do happen.  She will be dearly missed by so many who loved her.  May she rest in peace.

In 1959, Ron graduated from Mason City High School in Mason City, IA.  That summer, he traveled the Midwest with the carnival.  Upon returning home, Ron joined the US Air Force.  After completing basic training and tech school for Doppler radar, he was assigned to a base in Oklahoma City, OK.  Ron was honorably discharged in 1963, just days before the start of the Vietnam War.  

Ron returned to Iowa after the service and explored many jobs from working in the Land O Lakes Creamery to truck driving.  He eventually ended up in San Francisco, CA when he landed a job with Western Union as an installer.  After working throughout the western United States, he settled in Portland.  Ron was the CEO and co-founder of Parents Anonymous Northwest, a self-help group for the prevention of child abuse.  On November 22, 1974, Ron married Karen May Smith in Portland and they had two children.   By 1986, Ron discovered his talent for home renovation and became a general contractor and licensed real estate agent.  He remodeled hundreds of homes for HUD and the Department of Oregon Veterans during the 1980’s recession.  Ron retired from construction in 1994.
