Larry loved to hunt, fish, build things and party with family and friends. He was a huge guy in stature and personality. He will be missed.
A “Celebration of Life” will be held Aug. 3rd, 2019 at Larry’s home. Friends and family are invited. More specific times will be disclosed closer to August.
Larry and my marriage was not perfect. But… it was the perfect marriage for us. Larry was my HERO. He was my savior. He gave me confidence to do things I’ve always wanted to do. He very much resembled a “bear”. He was a kind and gentle man most of the time and yet if you crossed him he could be a bear of a man. Most people that knew Larry never crossed him. He was highly respected by his fellow peers & family.
Larry loved to hunt and fish and was very good at it.
He also loved to build things, houses, cabins anything. He had a great sense of humor and loved to play jokes on people. For instance the “mongoose” , or in the chicken house where if you lifted one of the doors to the nests you would get dumped on by straw.
Larry was not the type of person that if you did something wrong he pounced on it and never let you forget it. Once I shot his truck with a pistol (not on purpose). His only concern was if I had shot myself. He never said anything about his truck. In fact he would kiddingly ask people “Ask Peg what’s the biggest thing she’s ever shot?” In which I would reply. Larry’s truck!
Larry loved his kids although he didn’t get to see his daughter’s as much as he would have liked. He did love to have them visit.
As I’ve said. Larry was my HERO, and I will miss him. Love you dear !! Peg
