CLINTON, Missouri (GlossyNews) — With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person who gave the world fun and togetherness for over 50 years. His death almost went unnoticed this past week, but friends made a few calls and his passing was given special remembrance across the nation.
Larry Wang, the man who wrote the ever popular song, Do the Hokey Pokey died last week after a prolonged illness. Mr. Wang was 93 years old and last resided in St. Mary’s Nursing Home in Clinton for the past several years. His wife Edith, 31, and his two children Ryan, 13, and Megan, age 11 were at his side.
Larry was a resident of Clinton for the past 74 years and served one time as musical director for the Clinton High School until his retirement in 1977. In 1953 Larry wrote the famous words to the Do The Hokey Pokey dance and song that is still as popular as ever and performed everyday around the world.
His death is not without controversy. It seems the most difficult part for Bert Hayes, a local funeral director, was getting Larry’s body into the silk-lined coffin.
First, they attempted to put his left leg in…And then that’s when the trouble really started!
