Mr. Larry “Pops” Wynne, son of the late Wency Wynne and Eloise Carlock, was born May 22, 1939 in Pittsburg, Texas. He attended Topeka Public Schools, graduating from Topeka High School in May of 1958 and attended Washburn University. He was a member at St. Mark AME Church.
Larry joined the Army October 28, 1958 and was honorably discharged on October 27, 1960. He then served in the U.S. Army Reserve for the next four years.

Larry worked at the Menninger Foundation, YCAT where he retired after 28 years of service and was also a Bus Para for the Shawnee Heights School District No. 450.
He enjoyed bowling, fishing, playing pinochle and going to the Rice Community Center. He had a pleasant personality and was loved by many. He was an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family.
