Larry Len Workman's Obituary
Larry Len Workman, aka “Dink, Bo-Jake, Unka Dink, Duckless,” emerged October 2, 1948, in West “by God” Virginia and departed peacefully on December 21, 2022 in his Tallahassee home. He leaves his wife of 40 (give or take) years, Bonnie Benge, his brother Donnie aka “Duck” Workman, his sister Rebecca Christensen, his sister-and-brother-in-law Vicki and David Wadlington, and 6 nieces and their children.
He is remembered for not only his love and devotion to family, country, countless friends, colleagues and innumerable varmints but also his athletic prowess, insatiable thirst for lifelong learning and relentless talent for upsetting apple carts. Larry was a veteran, a submariner in the US Navy during the height of the Viet Nam conflict after which he travelled the country for a year on a motorcycle generating magnificent photographs of the human, architectural, and natural diversities he encountered along the way. He continued his love of travel taking trips to China and sailing adventures in the Caribbean. He was a retired IT guy from the State of Florida and a licensed massage therapist.
Those of us who knew and loved him will forever relish his indelible influences on our lives. Larry will be interred at the Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery in Gainesville, FL. A celebration of life is planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers please do something nice for someone—perform a random act of kindness.
