Larry was a proud veteran who honorably served his country in the United States Navy.

Larry had a deep appreciation for history, which was evident in his passion for genealogy. He spent countless hours researching his family’s roots, often collaborating with a group in High Ridge to uncover and preserve his heritage.

Beyond his work and research, Larry found joy in the great outdoors. He loved traveling with his family, visiting national parks, and making lasting memories on their adventures.

Larry’s love for exploration, history, and nature made him a remarkable man whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
