COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Lawrence (Larry) Fred Huet, aka Pop, 96, of College Station, Texas, passed away Nov. 26, 2020, peacefully at home. Larry was born in McCook, Neb., on Oct. 3, 1924, to Otto and Bessie Huet. At 17 years of age, Larry joined the Navy on Dec. 31, 1942. After boot camp, he was assigned to USS Bunker Hill and then rode aboard the USS Flint where he fought in the Pacific against the Japanese in World War II. After the war, Larry returned home to marry the love of his life, Geneva Huntwork. They were married on Nov. 1, 1945, until her death on Sept. 18, 2010. Larry soon started working in retail at Montgomery Wards in Denver, Colo. Larry and Geneva had their first son, Gary Eugene Huet, on June 13, 1949. From there, the family moved to Oklahoma, where Larry went to work for the retail giant of that time, TG&Y. Soon after, they welcomed their second son, Robert Fred Huet, on Jan. 31, 1953. Larry and the family made their way to Houston, Texas, where he was made supervisor of 18 TG&Y stores in the Houston area. Larry retired from TG&Y after 28 years. Larry and Geneva got into real estate where they were very successful. In the late 1980s, Larry and Geneva decided for a change and moved from Houston to Normangee, Texas. During that time, Larry and Geneva continued their real estate business. Larry enjoyed the country very much and was elected Mayor of Normangee in 2002. Larry and Geneva moved to College Station, Texas, in 2005. Larry loved his retirement years and being close to his family. He was very active with the Veteran’s Affairs and even wrote a book (From Hard Times To Good Times) about his life. Larry was truly apart of the “Greatest Generation” ever. Larry was a life-long member of the Methodist Church and he loved the Lord. Larry was preceded in death by his wife, Geneva Huet of 64 years and his son, Gary Eugene Huet.
