Larry was dedicated to the game of golf and enjoyed any game of chance. He loved the great outdoors, nature, and all God's creatures. He was often found at the nearest park, walking with family or simply, enjoying the sun in his own backyard. He was an avid reader who passed on his passion for reading to his children and grandchildren and a fabulous story teller who shared tales of growing up with family and friends. He was especially proud of his recently published book, An Inspirational Journey: In Search of Wholeness and Meaning, a memoir told as short stories that captures the heart, spirit and strength of a boy struggling to find meaning in his journey to adulthood.

His greatest joy came from being engaged in the lives of his family. He adored his grandchildren, Amy, Kyle, Peyton and Eric and great grandchild, Brooklyn.
