Larry was a family man who worked as a conductor for the Railroad for over 30 years prior to retiring. He served in the United States Marines for two years. In his spare time, Larry enjoyed playing golf as often as he could. When he was younger, he enjoyed taking motorcycle rides around the country.

Though Larry kept to himself, he enjoyed living in Florida for a couple months out of the year. Family meant the world to him, and he enjoyed spending time with them, especially when he could visit with his grandchildren and sisters. Larry went to many of his granddaughters’ sporting events and would often cheer them on from the sidelines. He enjoyed knowing that they had a love for sports like himself. Larry will be dearly missed by his loving family and friends.
