Lawrence”Larry”Ronald Rock, 85, passed away Friday, March 4, 2022, in Great Falls, Montana with his family at his side. Larry was a quiet man who was dedicated to his family.

Their commitment to each other and their enduring marriage in the face of life’s trials is an example to us all. He was preceded in death by three brothers and a sister.
