He was a compassionate, intelligent and quiet man. Larry was the type of person everyone should strive to be. He always had a fun fact ready to share. Larry was a very literal person and appreciated conciseness. He was willing to have a conversation with anyone about anything and always found a way to relate.
In his free time, he enjoyed golfing, reading, spoiling his baby girls and learning and talking about history.
