A memorial service at 1:00 p.m. for Dr. Herbold will be Saturday, May 12, at Edgewater Retirement Community, 9225 Cascade Ave, West Des Moines, IA where he was a resident. He died of pneumonia at Iowa Methodist Medical Center, the same hospital where he was born 84 years ago. His parents were Elvenrene Orion Herbold and Janet Lanita (Leonard) Herbold of Colfax, IA.

Larry grew up on a farm north of Colfax where he became very interested in livestock. That along with his successful 4-H activities led him to a career in veterinary medicine.

Larry was the mayor of Stanton, the first non-Swedish mayor ever elected. He was always active in the communities in which he lived. During their time in Ames Larry was involved in several activities and served as president of Golden K Kiwanis. He and Jane were heavily involved with University activities and were proud season ticket holdings for football and basketball games. In 2009, they moved to Edgewater Retirement Community in West Des Moines.

Larry is survived by his wife Jane; a son Mark (Amy Marshall) of Albia, daughter Laura (Marv) Seiler of Van Meter; grandchildren Colin Herbold and Regan, Cole, and Jade Seiler; brother Jim (Helen) Herbold of Newton, as well as many other family members.

The cremains will be inurned in Ames in the columbarium at Collegiate United Methodist Church where he was a member.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Edgewater Good Samaritan Fund, ISU Foundation (for Veterinary Medicine), or the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital Foundation.
