A man of many interests and talents, Larry found joy in playing softball, hunting, and bowling.  He had a passion for western movies and delighted those around him with his unique ability to create humorous lyrics to songs on the radio. Fondly known as “the candy & gum man” Larry’s playful spirit brought smiles to all who knew him.

Larry will be remembered as a kind-hearted and hardworking individual who encouraged others with his down-to-earth demeanor. His caring nature left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
