Lawrence Kriescher, Winchester, passed away December 11, 2023, surrounded by the love of his family, following a long battle with cancer. He was born March 25, 1952, to the late Clifford and Myrtle (Vannieuwenhoven) Kriescher. Larry graduated from Premontre High School in 1970 and continued his education at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. He built himself a career as a land surveyor and operated his own LLC, L.C. Kriescher and Associates, until his retirement.

In 1976, he met, fell in love with, and married Barbara Ann Albers, daughter of the late Clem and Grace Albers. From then until his death, they made their home in Winchester, raising their children, gardening, fishing, and patronizing their favorite breakfast spots and supper clubs. Larry had a deep appreciation for local government and a strong sense of community, leading him to serve as a member of the Winnebago County Board and as a supervisor and chairman of the Town of Winchester. He was particularly proud of his part in establishing the Town of Winchester Fire Department in 2016.
