He was a machinist at Carlin Gold Mine in Nevada, a mechanic at Southern Pacific Railroad in California, Utah and Nevada and he augmented the Police Department in Mesa, Arizona with Security. Larry loved learning, walking, camping, visiting National Parks, geology, astronomy and to read Clive Cussler books.
His adventurous spirit is carried on by his family: wife, Beverley; son, Larry Don; daughters, Deanne and Delyne (David); sisters, Carol and Sonja; brothers, Les and Terry (Kathy). He was proud of all his grandchildren, Christopher, Brett (Amy), Erin, Derek, Cory, Chase, Heath, Chelsea and his great-grandson, Dante.
