Retired Retail Executive Leaves Lasting Legacy of Love and Leadership

Larry Bucksbarg left an indelible mark on those around him during his 82 years. Born in Zanesville, Ohio, Larry developed a love for sports at a young age that would remain with him throughout his life.

He graduated from Ferris State University, where he played collegiate basketball before proudly serving his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Stationed in Germany, this experience helped shape the leadership skills and work ethic that defined Larry's life.

Larry built an extraordinary career in retail, spending decades doing what he genuinely loved, serving people, leading teams, and developing future leaders. He began his career with F.W. Woolworth Company before continuing to The Home Depot, where he served as Vice President of Operations.

After retiring from The Home Depot, Larry combined three things he loved most: boats, people, and making a sale at Nunmaker Yachts. His love for boating also led him to dedicate countless hours to St. Scholastica Academy's athletic facilities and sports complex, where his daughters attended high school.
