Larry was an active and social man, and a member of the Loyal order of Moose Lodge in Olney where he tended bar for many years. He moved to Xenia later in life to be closer to his grandchildren and worked at Salem IGA for many years until his retirement. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He never met a stranger and always made you feel welcome. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan and proudly represented them. Larry was a family man and loving father, grandfather, and friend to everyone he encountered. Family was his highest priority, and he relished the time spent with his children and grandchildren. His loved ones will take comfort in the abundance of loving memories they share of him.
