Rancher and former Wyoming Sen. Lawrence "Larry" Gilbertz has died at age 82. Gilbertz's family says he died Saturday at his home in Gillette. Gilbertz served as the senator for District 23 from 1993 to 1998. Gilbertz also served on several boards, including a local school board, the Court Reform Committee and the Farmer's Co-op board. He served in the Army in post-World War II Germany as part of the United States' occupation force. And after a stint working for a uranium company in Douglas, Gilbertz and his wife, Vera Ann, moved back to the Gilbertz family ranch in southern Campbell County and built it into a 10,000-acre operation by the time they retired in 1986.
