Larry was a Baptist by faith. He grew up in Louisiana. He became a truck driver at the young age of 16 and joined the US Army. They discovered he was underage and gave him an honorable discharge.

In 1953 Larry married Shirley and they started a family in Oregon and raised four children. In 1974 Larry married Dorothy. He took a break from trucking to manage a 3,000 acre ranch in Bakers City, Oregon for several years. It was there at the ranch that he had many fond memories with family and friends.
