Not one to sit still, Larry continued in the workforce, finishing his career working for Rick Crittenden driving a dump truck. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, and had a huge love for animals, especially for his dog, Georgie, that he called his, "Little Buddy". He enjoyed spending time with his lifelong best buddy, Art Ballard, being with his family, and took pride in the care and upkeep of his family land. Larry will be missed by many. He is lovingly survived by his wife, Sue of the home; sons, Kevin Rainbolt (wife Jennifer), Tommy Rainbolt, and Richie Rainbolt (wife Ginger); granddaughters, Sarah (husband Grady), Sydni (husband Kyler), and Charli; grandsons, Dillon (wife Dallas), Brody, and Ross; great-grandchildren, Landon, Sawyer, Nova, Addison, Ryan, Jaxson, and Colton; brother, Paul Rainbolt and wife, Sondie; nieces, nephews and many friends.
