We loved playing golf with Larry when we all golfed at South Ridge. We always went out to eat after at the Townhouse and shared lots of laughs. Larry had a great attitude and we will miss him. Bernie and Jody

Since about the year 2000, have known Larry - we played a lot of golf together at South Ridge while I was working there. Then, we ventured up to Hinton and then finished our golfing at the course in Dakota City. The last year, 2022; we played in a two-man scramble league and ended up in third place 1.5 points from winning it... Well, played; Pardner! The photo was taken by great friend/Jim Adamson - in the photo - me/Mike Engleman and Larry

I worked with Larry at Lowe's. Always enjoyed working with him. I remember him always talking about taking time off to go golfing!
My sympathies to you all.

Larry was a happy go lucky man that had a heart of gold. I worked with him at Freightliner and we swapped wheels on our Jeeps. He always went out of his way to say hi and see how I was doing. Great man!
