Larry lived a full life of 81 years. He was the oldest of three brothers and spent most of his life in Gardendale Al. He joined the military after graduating from Jordan High School and served several years with the Coast Guard. He became a first time father to a set of twins, (Dana and Marty) when he was 26 and then again at the age of 31 to another set of twins, (Susan and Cristie) for a total of 4 biological children. Larry married the love of his life, Mary J Brewer, in 1992, which brought their families together and gave Larry several additional sons and daughters. Larry and Mary were happily married for over 32 years.

Larry was a collector or many things but above all he was an avid gun collector. His passion for guns was always a top pick of conversation. He loved to talk about and show off his extensive and some even rare prized pieces of his gun collection.

Larry loved being outside doing what he called “piddling”. He enjoyed the outdoors and anything to do with nature. He even chopped his own firewood up until the age of 80 years old. A great past time that Larry enjoyed was reading and watching documentaries about American history and biographies mostly concerning old western and civil war periods.

Fishing was also one of Larry's favorite past times. He spent as much time as possible in his boat with his little brother Kenny trying to catch “The Big One”.

Larry was a faithful husband, loving father and adored Pawpaw. His profession of faith in The Lord and sharing his hope of spending Eternity in Heaven brings the family comfort and peace in knowing they will see him again one day.
