Larry’s grandparents, Rev Ernest and Agnes (Carlson) Johnson, and Emil and Sigrid (Lind) Christianson also preceded him in the journey to heaven.

Larry, a 1963 graduate of Austin High School dedicated his professional life to the American National Bank’s Trust Department and later served the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
