Larry Leroy Soine, age 89, of Ocala, Florida passed away peacefully on January 20, 2024. He was born at home on a farm in Dennison, Minnesota on July 13, 1934 to Melvin "Ben" and Ethel Soine.

Larry served as a radio and weather technician in the US Army in Grand Cayman and Cape Canaveral in the 1950’s and then had a career as a manager in computer engineering in the early years of computers which allowed him and his family to live and travel all over the world. He was a ballroom dancer since his early twenties, which played a big part in his courtship of his wife Anita Rauk Soine.

Larry enjoyed golfing three times a week during his retirement as a member of the Oak Run Country Club for over 20 years. He and Anita were active in the Oak Run community. They enjoyed Ballroom and Country Western dancing several nights a week for many years, as well as poker, billiards, and they continued to travel throughout retirement. He treasured the many rich friendships that they made there throughout the years. 

He is survived by his loving wife, Anita Soine, daughter Lisa Lees (Jon Lees), grandchildren Katherine Soine, Chelsea Skluzacek, Hans Soine, great grandchildren Misha Cleave and Brendan Soine, and sisters Beverly, Patricia, and Sharon. Larry also has numerous other relatives in Minnesota.

He is preceded in death by his mother, father, and daughter Pamela Skluzacek.
