On Tuesday, the City of Noblesville honored and remembered the life of Larry Stork on his 88th birthday with the dedication of a park bench. Mayor Chris Jensen also proclaimed July 16, 2024, as Larry Stork Day.
Stork served 35 years on the Noblesville Board of Works and Public Safety and was reappointed by four different mayors. He also served on the Noblesville Common Council from 1980 to 1984.
He proudly served his country in the Army National Guard from 1958 to 1964. He moved to Noblesville in 1962, before Firestone Industrial Products sent him to Canada from 1966 to 1968, but returned to the city in 1968 and lived here until his death on Nov. 19, 2019.
Larry’s wife, Sally, and daughters, Erica and Cara, were joined by current Board of Works members John Elmer, Rick Taylor, Laurie Dyer, Jack Martin, and John Ditslear for the bench dedication in Forest Park.
