Larry Wayne Ihlenfeldt of Mountain City, TX died October 1, 2020.
He was a decorated Viet Nam veteran who served in the Army's 1st Calvary Division of the original helicopter pilots to serve in combat. His love of flying was handed down from his pilot father who served in the US Air Force in World War II and Korea. After discharge from the army, due to injuries received when his helicopter was shot down in Viet Nam, Larry returned home and served the remainder of his life in service to others as a pilot flying food and supplies into war torn third world countries and as a medical helicopter pilot for several hospitals.
His love of all forms of life was evident in all he accomplished in his life. He was always ready and willing to help anyone at any time. His sense of humor could brighten any situation.
Larry was an exceptional man and will be missed by all who were privileged to know and love him.
