Lawrence Henry Jungwirth

Lawrence H. Jungwirth, Age 83, of Bloomington, passed away October 6, 2023. Preceded in death by his parents, Marie and Leo Hauck, Henry and Evelyn Jungwirth and sister, Jean Zappa. He is survived by his wife, Susann (Meyer) Jungwirth, former wife, Judith (Westby) Jungwirth, children Deborah (Jay) Borman, Jeffrey (Stacie) Jungwirth, Matthew (Jennifer) Jungwirth and Brian (Rachel) Jungwirth. Grandchildren are Thomas (Claire Maccani), Lawrence (Ashlyn), Cole, Cayla, Shaeden, Brooks, Bailey, Leo and Bode Jungwirth, Christina (Nathan) Tucker, Hannah (Eric) Thoreson, Scott (Alexandra) Borman, and great grandson, Simeon Thoreson. Larry was a lifelong resident of Minnesota. He was born in St. Paul, living there until he moved to Richfield in middle school. He was proud to be in the first class that went all four years in the new Richfield high school. His passion for playing baseball and ham radio were honed in those years. He joined the Naval Reserve to help pay for his education at the University of Minnesota. He fulfilled his active duty requirements by serving first at Lakehurst, NJ on the blimp squadron, and then on the aircraft carrier, Kittyhawk. After graduating from the U of M, he began working for Hennepin County Social Services as a caseworker. He remained at the county for his entire professional career, and served in many capacities, finally retiring as a Social Work supervisor in foster care. Sports were always a primary interest for Larry. He enjoyed being on baseball or softball teams, but his ultimate joy was coaching his children and grandchildren or attending whatever sport they were playing. He was always eager to greet them after a competition and never failed to do so with, "You played a great game!" In his retirement years, being a BAJ (Born Again Jock), provided him with a whole new network of softball, volleyball, and bowling friends. Larry's spiritual life was a primary part of who he was. A long time member of Redemption Lutheran in Bloomington, his servant heart was evident. He loved to have the opportunity to read scripture during services and served as deacon, usher, Stephen Minister and school board member over 30 plus years. His beautiful smile and bright blue eyes will be missed by many. A special thanks to The Moments Memory Care staff in Lakeville for the love and care he received over the past two years. Services will be held on Monday, November 6, 2023 at Redemption Lutheran Church, 927 E. Old Shakopee Rd in Bloomington. Visitation will begin at 10 AM with a service to follow at 11AM. A luncheon will be served. A private interment will be at Fort Snelling National Cemetery at a later date. Memorials are preferred to the Redemption/Faith Forward fund, Alzheimer's Association of MN/ND, or donor's choice. Washburn-McReavy.com Werness Brothers 952-884-8145
