Larry spent 27 years working for the City of Kansas City Water Department.Larry was an avid sports fan and especially enjoyed watching the Chiefs, but only with permission by his beloved wife, of course! Larry found immense joy in coaching his sons and many others within the Northland Chiefs youth football program, as well as various baseball teams, including those of his sons, brother and nephews.Beyond sports, family was paramount to Larry.
He cherished every moment with his loved ones. He enjoyed visiting new places and making memories while vacationing, especially with his brother Randy, sister-in-law, Anita, and niece, Taylor. Larry enjoyed spending his summers at the lake, his happy place, where he would fish with his grandsons and swim with all of his grandchildren. Larry’s grandchildren were his pride and joy. Papa could not say no and they all learned that very early!
