Larry proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Korean Conflict and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Outside of his career, Larry was a master carpenter who enjoyed building furniture and working with his hands. He loved farming and gardening, and was known for staying busy. He was easygoing, good with people, and had a natural head for numbers. No matter the job, he took pride in doing it well.

He will be remembered as a steady presence, a hardworking man, and someone who found purpose in both his work and the simple things in life.
