He was born June 12, 1935 in Gunnison, Colorado to Edward and Beulah (Witt) Andrews.
Larry grew up in the Alger area where he attended school. Following his early education, he joined the U.S. Marines.

In 1979 they moved to their final home in Sedro-Woolley, Washington where they lived for 31 years. Larry owned and operated Construction Specialists doing residential and commercial construction.
