Remembering SMSgt (Ret) Larry G. Lane

It is with a heavy heart to announce the passing of SMSgt (RET) Larry G. Lane. Larry was a life member of the Noncommissioned Academy Graduate Association. He was the 19th national president of the Association from July 1995 – July 1996 and was very active within the NCOAGA.


Larry had been ill for several months and he passed away on August 16, 2026, surrounded by his family and his faithful dog.

Larry was a Graduate of the NCOA class 87-A and January 1988 joined the NCOAGA, Chapter 76, Big Red Chapter, Lincoln, NE.


Upon retiring from 155ARW, Lincoln, NE, Larry and Jan moved to Deadwood, SD and moved NCOAGA membership to Chapter 70, Pheasant Country Chapter, Sioux Falls, SD.

 

As more information becomes available, I will forward it to everyone. Please keep this family in your prayers.
