Their house was always full with friends of their children with lots of game playing and laughter. Friends were always welcome. It was not uncommon for Larry to load up the neighborhood kids and take them to Dairy Queen or bring home a 747 pizza. 

Larry was a 1959 graduate at Van Buren High School. Larry briefly attended Indiana State University.

Larry and Stevie moved from Brazil, IN to Terre Haute, IN after their children left home where he was very involved in their church. They spent many enjoyable summers at their cabin on the lake near Jasonville, IN. Approximately 16 years ago Larry and Stevie moved to Wabash, IN in order to be close to their children and grandchildren. 

In his younger years Larry enjoyed fishing and mushroom hunting as well as playing games with his children. He was a former member of the Elks and always enjoyed watching sports on TV.
