Lawrence Frederick Eberle

Lawrence was born on January 23, 1945, in Herkimer, New York, one of four children born to Frederick and Wanita Eberle. He joined the US Army in April of 1965, and proudly served his country during the Vietnam War, earning the Vietnam Service Medal and National Defense Service Medal. Throughout his lifetime, Lawrence worked for the Coors Company, trimmed trees, worked for Jefferson County Schools, and was a maintenance supervisor for Cub Foods. His love for fishing, hunting, and the outdoors brought him to Collbran, where he resided until his death. Lawrence also had a special place in his heart for his dogs; Buddy, Cubbie, Luke, and Tanner.

Lawrence is survived by his daughter, Robin Padilla of Westminster, Colorado; grandsons, Soloman and Matthew; sister, Mary Eberle; his nieces and nephews in New York; and many friends in Denver and Collbran. His parents; brother, Fred; and sister, Joanne predecease him.

Private family services will be held at Ft. Logan National Cemetery.
