Lawrence Boyd "Larry" Dunham passed away on November 10, 2020 after a short battle with COVID-19.  Larry, who had been battling cancer, contracted the coronavirus and bacterial pneumonia and was hospitalized.  In the end he was unable to fight the disease.
 
Larry was born on November 21, 1948 and spent most of his life in Omaha area.  He came to Boys Town from Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1962 and joined his younger brother Joseph who had arrived more than a year earlier.
 
After high school Larry joined the Navy and received training at the Balboa Naval Hospital where he studied physical therapy and rehabilitation and served the Navy as a technician in that capacity for his enlistment.  He returned to the midwest where he worked as a physical therapist at a number of hospitals in the Omaha area and retired in that career field.  He was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and bravely fought that disease.
 
In 2017 he was able to attend his 50th class reunion and enjoyed getting back together with his classmates.
 
He is survived by his daughter Laura and brother Joseph.  He will be missed by his daughter and Joseph and his wife Cora who will hold a special place in their hearts for him as they gather together as family in the coming years.
