Larry attended Orange High School and studied at the University of Iowa for a time. He was a proud Ironworker, and worked construction for 40+ years. It was a job he loved, but he loved being a husband, Dad and Pops even more. He loved taking care of people and helping wherever he could. He was a diehard Iowa Hawkeyes fan and enjoyed grilling, fishing, and being with his dogs at Lake Grapevine.
