Larry Kinder, 73, of Fergus Falls, died Thursday, November 7, 2013 at Essentia Health, Fargo, ND

He was born March 28, 1940 in Des Moines, IA to Victor and Willa Mae (Jones) Kinder. He grew up and received his education in Martensdale, IA. On April 17, 1961, Larry was united in marriage to Linda Grosvenor at Neola, IA. The couple made their home in Martensdale. Larry was employed as a MoorMans Feed salesman. In 1981, they moved to Minnesota where Larry and Linda owned and operated the Angler's Beach Resort on Cass Lake for ten years. Larry worked various jobs after selling the resort in 1991.
