Larry was a devoted husband, father, and "Pa" to his grandchildren. Everyone loved Larry. If you asked Larry how he was doing, his answer always was the same, "I can't complain"! He was a faithful friend to so many, always fun to be around and an amazing story teller. He was known for his outstanding writing ability and beautiful poems. Hunting, fishing and watching sports were some of his hobbies. He and Donna loved country dancing as well as traveling.
