Larry was born September 10, 1940, in Polk County, Nebraska to Jacob Micek and Frances (Stachura) Micek Kosiba. He attended grade school at District 9 and graduated from Duncan High School in 1958. After school, he worked a variety of jobs including delivering cream, which is how he discovered he never wanted to get married. Cat then went onto begin his long-time career farming, trucking, and raising cattle. Through the years, he made many friends and fed cattle at many different feedyards. Cat loved playing cards, socializing with his many friends, and telling a wide variety of jokes. Larry picked up his nickname “cat” because he was known for having 9 lives … or 20 something of them!
