Larry was cared for by his loving mother as well as his sisters for the last years of his life. He was a fighter, defeating leukemia at the age of 6. Larry was generous, thoughtful and considerate of everyone. He never complained about his health issues or let them slow him down. Larry graduated from Grace King High School where he was a proud member of the football team and JROTC. He was a dedicated employee of Ochsner Medical Center, Kenner campus and Dominos Pizza. Larry's strongest passion was his love and dedication for the New Orleans Saints. From that love he created the popular character called "Saints Fett". Saints Fett was a fixture in Champions Square for every home game. His love of the team and fans helped him through his health issues. Larry was also a proud member of the Bast Alpha Garrison of the 501st Legion. He marched with the 501st in many parades during Mardi Gras, and participated in numerous charity events especially at Children's Hospital throughout his years with the 501st. Larry also enjoyed attending numerous ComicCon Conventions as several characters and befriended numerous celebrities. Larry was a wonderful Son, brother, brother- in- law, uncle and friend. He was surrounded by close family and friends in his last hours. The family would like to thank the Doctors, Nurses and staff of Ochsner Kenner and Ochsner main campus CCU and ICU for all their care, and especially to his friends Gary Breaux and Caesar Taylor for their love and support in his final hours.
