He had a passion for eagles and had a large collection of them. He once owned race horses. He had traveled to every state except Hawaii (when driving truck), merely because he could not drive there. He cherished time spent with his son Jude, family and friends. He adored his grandkids and was very giving. No one was a stranger to Larry. He was larger than life and full of fierce character with a heart of gold. He loved to entertain, and always had a story to tell, which made everyone laugh.
