Larry worked in construction most of his life, owning his own construction firm. He worked in commercial and residential construction. He was a very hard worker, putting in long hours to get the job complete. For over thirty years, Larry found friendship and companionship with Linda Goodman. The couple was married on November 6, 2025, at their home near Preston, Missouri. Together they enjoyed watching the hummingbirds in the backyard and fishing. Larry really enjoyed taking the boat out on the Lake to bass and crappie fish. Larry was preceded in death by his parents and stepdaughter Jackie Hicks. He is survived by his wife Linda; two sons, Larry Green Jr. and Allen Green; three step-sons, Jerry Goodman, Donald Goodman, and Terry Goodman; one sister, Kathy Harris; two brothers, Chris Green and George Green; as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and beloved friends.
