Larry served his country for 23 years, both in the Army and Air Force. Later he attended Rocky Mountain College in MT and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Aviation.

Preceded in death by parents and brother Arlen.

He found enjoyment in attending air shows to see all the planes, his favorite being the P-51 mustang, which he had the opportunity to fly when he was 63. You could also find him at a running event, even at the young age of 80 when he ran in the Get in Gear 5k with his son Dallas. If he wasn’t flying or running, he would want to be riding his motorcycle.
