Larry was retired from State Farm Insurance as a computer programmer. Early on he was a master woodworker and created many memorable pieces that we all have enjoyed.
He loved spending many hours converting old sermons and hymns to digital pieces for all to appreciate.
His faith and his family were the most important to him; he thrived being together with his family and going to church. He gave many encouraging words and examples throughout life and never complained with the health battle he was given. He thanked God daily for the time he was given.
He was a member of the Apostolic Christian Faith Church, Eureka.
