Larry William Jansky was born on September 2, 1944 to William and Mamie (Simacek) Jansky in Friend, Nebraska. Larry was the youngest of five children. He married Diane Hromadka on October 22, 1966. Together they had three children: Shelley, Jeffrey and Jody. Larry passed away at Heritage Crossing in Geneva, Nebraska at the age of 78 years and 6 months after numerous health issues. Larry grew up on the family farm East of Milligan. He attended District #100 for grades K-8th and spent his high school years at Milligan High School. Larry played drums in the band, football and ran track. He graduated in 1963. After graduation, Larry entered the National Guard and served for six years out of the York Unit. Larry picked up electrical skills from Curly Kotas, and this trade definitely came in handy when remodeling. Larry worked alongside his father on the family farm. He took over the farm when his dad retired and moved to Milligan. Larry raised many different crops including milo, corn, wheat and soybeans. He enjoyed cutting hay and running the combine. Larry also raised cattle, hogs, and many feathered friends. Larry's dedication to farming and his family is admirable. Larry volunteered as a firefighter and was extremely proud of the new Milligan Rescue Unit. During his free time, Larry enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports, hauling them around on the Gator and playing family games of wiffle ball in the front yard. This became a family tradition at every holiday, weather permitting. Some of Larry's favorite hobbies included having coffee with his friends at Co-Op, Ron's Tavern and HWY 141 Express, checking his cows, and watching CNN and old Westerns. It was a huge honor for Larry to receive the Nebraska Pioneer Farm Award for having land in the family for 100 plus years. This award was given to the Simacek-Jansky family farm established in 1915. He also received the Quilt of Valor for his years of service in the National Guard. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, William and Mamie Jansky; in-laws, Frank and Alma Hromadka; siblings, Leslie Jansky, Lumir Jansky, and Harriet Synovec; his brothers-in-law, Milton Synovec and Gary Filipi; and his niece Karen Umplett. Larry is survived by his wife, Diane Janksy; children Shelley Domant, Jeff Jansky, Jody Kerchal (Matt Kerchal); his six grandchildren: Mitchell Domant, Grant Domant, Kate Jansky, Cameran Jansky, Zoe Kerchal and Hudson Kerchal; his sister, Mariann Umplett; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors. It is clear that Larry was well-loved and will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and community.
