Larry Boutilier, 84, rural Granville died on Wednesday, May 15, 2019 in a Minot hospital from cardiac arrest. He was surrounded by his loving family.

Larry David Boutilier was born on September 21, 1934 on the family farm near Granville, ND to David and Murriel (Vaughn) Boutilier. He was raised on the family farm, attended school in Granville and graduated from Granville High School in 1953.

Larry married Janice Woodall, the love of his life, on June 6, 1954 at the Congregational Church in Minot. They made their home on the Boutilier Family Farm. Larry farmed and ranched in Granville Township of McHenry County, raising cattle, sheep, pigs, turkeys and chickens. Also, he was employed at Massey Ferguson Implement Dealership in Minot, drove school bus for the Granville School and assisted his wife with the operation of the Country Inn Adult Senior Care.

Larry retired from farming and ranching in 2001.  He and Janice spent the winter months in Green Cove Springs, FL.
