A graduate of Butler Senior High, Larry pursued his passion for mechanics by operating his own repair garage. His love for the road led him to a career as a truck driver, a profession he enjoyed until his retirement. Even after retiring, Larry was always restoring a car or tinkering with equipment. Until his father's passing, Larry's Sundays were often spent at Moraine State Park, fishing on their beloved boat. These outings were a testament to the strong bond he shared with his family.

He will be deeply missed, yet fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched.
