Larry Ligman, passed away on Friday, October 30, 2026 at Box Butte General Hospital.

Lawrence V. “Larry” Ligman, age 93, was born December 3, 1932 in Superior Wisconsin of Joseph and Cecelia Ligman, husband to Barbara Ligman and father of Larry, Dale, Becky, and Gene.&nbsp;

He experienced the harsh times of the depression firsthand and resolved to provide for his family. So after a short active duty in the US Army, he married Barbara Nollet, got his first job on the Great Northern railroad, and made a career that was admired by any who knew him.&nbsp; He was a man of principle and discipline but softened with kindness and cheer that made him lifelong friends in every place he lived. He loved to garden and he loved to join his voice to the choir for many decades. Barbara, the love of his life, only parted by death is now rejoined.

Funeral services will be Thursday, November 5 at 10:00 a.m. at Holy Rosary Catholic Church with Father Matt Koperski officiating.&nbsp; Burial will be in the Nebraska Veterans Cemetery.&nbsp; Visitation will be Wednesday from 3-7 p.m. at Bates-Gould Funeral Home.
