Larry was a longtime member of the Calvary United Methodist Church. He loved many things in life. He loved to laugh, tease and a good joke. He loved his wife, Pat, of 48 years as well as his family. He also loved to travel, he traveled to many places in the U.S. during his lifetime. He loved playing cards and enjoyed Euchre tournaments and weekly Canasta games. He loved his motorcycle and could often be seen riding through town. He retired from Goodyear, after 35 years of employment. After retirement he often said, “now it takes me all day to do what I used to get done in an evening”. He could often be found sitting in his favorite lounge chair in his “Florida Room” or puttering in the garage or working in the yard. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
