In his spare time, he loved to tinker especially with his tractor. Hunting and fishing were something he shared with his boys when they were younger. When Larry decided to retire, he took it very seriously. He could often be found hanging out with his buddies. The time Larry enjoyed the most was time with his family and spoiling his grandchildren. He was a loving husband, dad, grandpa, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and a caring neighbor and friend.
