AUBURN – Larry John Thibeault, 67, of Auburn died suddenly but peacefully of a heart attack on Sunday June 23, 2019. He was born in Lewiston to John and Vivian Thibeault. He graduated Edward Little High School in 1970. Larry served in the Naval Reserve.

Larry had a witty sense of humor that brought laughter, and joy to everyone around him. His ability to remember every single joke he ever heard was outstanding, and he never was at a loss to have new jokes which brought laughter to his friends and family for many years. Larry loved golfing and the friendships he made in doing so. He had a deep interest in coin collecting that started his hobby in the 70s when he came across and old dime that had value, and led to his avid collecting and being involved in coin shows. In high school Larry played bass in “The Battle of the Bands” with his dear friends, Paul Rawson, Steve Roy, and Denny Breau, where they took home the gold.
Larry also loved yard sailing, and playing cards was a favorite dating back to the many games of Pinochle he played with his family. He loved sports and watching sporting events on television.
Larry loved all animals and especially his dog, Lexi and cats, Emma and Gunnar.
