Larry enjoyed camping, hunting, golfing, fishing, playing cards and visiting with his family and many friends. His sense of humor and fun-loving personality will be the subject of many great conversations and stories among those fortunate enough to have been a part of his life. He was known for being full of energy and hardworking, and was always willing to help people and asked for nothing in return. He was a generous man and a great husband, dad, and grandpa. A very important part of his life was spending time with his children and grandchildren and attending their various activities. He will be dearly missed.
