Larry was born in Northwood, ND on April 9, 1947 to Halvor and Carol (Haugen) Kappedal. As a child and young man, he was known for his big heart and for getting away with just about anything.
On August 22, 1975, he married Beverly Kielland. In 1980, Larry and Bev moved to the family farm outside of Northwood where they raised their daughters, Karli and Kami. Larry continued to farm until his retirement in 2011. His illness limited his retirement, and he stayed close to home in his last years and moved into the town of Northwood when his daughter Kami took over the family farm in 2016. Bev cared for him until the last.
Larry lived a big life. He loved to travel, visiting 48 states, Canada and Mexico. His hobbies included flying and computers. He served on many local boards. He was a Farmer. He loved his land. He was proud of his crops. He loved to harvest corn. He was the kind of Daddy and Grandpa who would give rides on any of the farm equipment his kids wanted.
