Larry was an avid outdoorsmen and farmer at heart helping on his brother's farm as often as he could.  He enjoyed hunting, specifically racoon hunting, training hunting dogs, fishing, watching the Brewers and being the best grandpa, he could be.  His family will always remember his massive vegetable garden and his love of watching anything grow, including the grass. 

The family sincerely thanks the doctors and nurses at Upland Hills Health Emergency Room and Gorgen Funeral Home.

Per Larry's wishes there will be a private family visitation and a celebration of life planned for a later date.
