He was a 1961 graduate of El Paso High School. He then ventured into the fertilizer business and moved north of El Paso to farm and raise pigs until retirement. He had a servant heart that was evident spending his later years volunteering at Gobena coffee, delivering Meals on Wheels, serving in his church and helping local farmers. He had a love and passion for classic cars that grew deeper over the years. He was a true patriot who loved his family and country deeply.

Known throughout his life as a generous blood donor, just shy of his 20-gallon mark, the family asks that you continue his legacy by donating blood at the November 12, Honorary Red Cross Blood Drive hosted at The Water Tower venue in Gridley.

Larry was a member of the Gridley Apostolic Christian Church, where he carried out his calling of welcoming others as a faithful door greeter each Sunday morning.
