Born the youngest of eleven children, Larry grew up with a deep sense of family and a zest for life that carried him through the years.

Larry married the love of his life, Judith, with whom he shared 54 wonderful years before her passing in 2016. Their love and devotion to each other set an enduring example for their family and friends.

A man who cherished the outdoors, Larry found joy in hunting, fishing, camping, and simply being under the open sky.

Above all, Larry loved his family. He carried with him a deep pride in his roots and an unwavering devotion to those he held dear. His memory will be treasured and carried on through those who knew and loved him.

Larry is survived by his daughters, Tammy Thompson (Pat) and Dawn Payne (Brian); four grandchildren, Jason (MyLisa), Toby (Shauna), Nicholas (McKenzie), Jessica; nine great-grandchildren, AdahLisa, Forest, Madison, Gracee, Colt, Nicholas Jr., Noah, Amelia, Annaliese; and many nieces, nephews and other family and friends.
