Larry Was born in Carthage, Missouri on October 19th, 1948. He attended college at Missouri Southern State University. Working 3 jobs to provide for his family was a huge part in his life. One of our most favorite things he use to always say was "call me anything, just don't call me late for supper".

Larry enjoyed spending time listening to music, playing Yahtzee, spending time with family, sitting out side enjoying the fresh air and the wild life, playing poker with his poker buddies, and going on car rides. Larry's smile could light up a room. He will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved him. His humor and jokes will live on threw anyone that new him. Its not always good bye its a when I see you in heaven.
