A talented cook and gracious host, he often brought people together around food and laughter. He had a special fondness for the lake—fishing and boating were among his favorite pastimes.

Family was central to Larry’s life. He was affectionately known as a “mama’s boy,” a term that reflected not only his deep love for his mother but also the warmth and loyalty he extended to all those close to him. He held dear the time spent with loved ones and took pride in being present for family gatherings.

Larry was also a proud Master Mason and a member of the Omar Shriners, organizations that reflected his values of service and brotherhood.
