A Life Well-Lived: The Story of Linda & Larry Dent Through Their Collection
The Steffen Group is honored to present the personal property and real estate auction for the Estate of Linda Dent and the Late Larry Dent. This exceptional auction celebrates the lives of two remarkable individuals whose interests and passions are reflected in every item being offered.
Linda Dent was a beloved elementary school teacher, and Larry Dent was a familiar face to many as a TV weatherman for WKJG, later serving as Vice President of K&K Insurance before retiring from 3M. Lifelong enthusiasts of sports cars, Larry and Linda were proud members of the Sports Car Club of America and devoted decades to collecting, traveling, and curating a truly one-of-a-kind estate.
We invite you to join us for the open house and take part in this incredible opportunity to own a piece of the Dent legacy.
We look forward to seeing you.
— Pat & Brandon
