Larry graduated from Madison High School, and he went on to work for Taylor Metal for 44 years. He loved camping, fishing, and working in the yard, whether that be mowing the grass or tending to his garden, and he adored his pet chihuahua and cat.

He was preceded in death by his parents Carl and Ruth Hively, his son Larry Hively, Jr., and his siblings Robert, Raymond, Jack, Elvera, Shirley, and Jeanie.
