Larry’s career led him to great heights, literally. He was a sought after high rise crane operator in Chicago, IL during the 60’s and 70’s. He not only excelled in the the skill of operating high rise cranes, but also had no fear of heights and an excellent sense of balance. These talents made him an invaluable part of many construction projects He was a proud member of the Teamster’s Union and retired at the age of fifty-five.

Larry was a native of Illinois, but much preferred the warmer weather and sunny lifestyle he found in Fort Lauderdale. His parents introduced the family to Florida when Larry and his brother were young. The Fisher’s were some of the first owner/occupants at Maybury Mansions in the 1950’s and Larry became a permanent resident of Maybury Mansions in 2005.

Larry was a proud, fiercely independent man who never wished to be a burden to anyone. He can rest in peace, knowing he did it his way.
